Don't worry about it.  
Make the view as high as the base text field and button, something like 32px I guess.  
On the root container, add a `overflow: visible` style.  
Then make the options panel where ever you want, outside of the view's boundaries.

When you place your dropdown in a view, check the `useDefaultViewHeight` property, make sure the embedded view is the right height (32px), and add the `overflow: visible` property here as well.  
Make sure it's on top of other components by clicking ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/e/8/e8695558019d6c7bf4e3c3d1f4119c9b49b3e6b9.png) or setting a `z-index` style.

That's it.  
I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to make things simpler, maybe through css, but it's already quite simple.
