Topic: MDBAutoV5 getValue should return Object not value
Expected behavior
My expectation for this component would be for it to return the Object which I have selected, not the value I have annotated in the dataKey prop. The value returned to me serves no real purpose, when I am trying to build a relationship based on the objects I have passed to the component. For me, and probably others, the dataKey value is just a value I use to search on, but the Objects I have passed, will contain a PK, which I need to build a relation.
Actual behavior
The will only return the value (or the dataKey) I have passed. This forces me to then do a lookup, in my array, for the object which contains the value of whatever was passed back to me in the callback.

I want to avoid doing a search for an object with a make of "whatever is selected". This adds unnecessary overhead, if I am potentially searching for hundreds or more records in an array.
