ckeditor plugin dialog select get the description from the selected one

Question

Im am developing a placeholder plugin to CKEDITOR and it´s basically complete. The problem I have is that I am trying to get the value and description from the select within the dialog and I am only getting the value. The array that contains the description and value looks like this

--> items: [['description1', 'value1'], ['description2', 'value2']] <--

In the return -> contents -> elements with ID dropdown I have setup and commit function. In these functions I need to get the description just like getting the name from select option.

Really need help with this one, thanks in advance

example -->

<select>
    <option value="value1">description1</option>
    <option value="value2">description2</option>
</select>

example <--

(function () {

    function placeholderDialog(editor, isEdit) {

        var lang = editor.lang.phlink,
            generalLabel = editor.lang.common.generalTab;

        return {
            title: lang.title,
            minWidth: 300,
            minHeight: 80,
            contents: [
                {
                    id: 'info',
                    label: generalLabel,
                    title: generalLabel,
                    elements: [
                    {

                        , setup: function (data) {
                            // need the description
                            this.setValue(data.title);
                        }

                            data.title = this.getValue();
                        }
                    },
                    {
                        id: 'text',

                    data.title = this._element.getAttribute('title');
                    data.text = this._element.getText();
                    data.tag = this._element.getAttribute('data-jztag');
                }

                this.setupContent(data);

                var data = { tag: 'link', content: null, title: null, text: null };

                this.commitContent(data);

                CKEDITOR.plugins.phlink.createPlaceholder(editor, this._element, data);

                delete this._element;
            }
        };
    }

    CKEDITOR.dialog.add('createplaceholder', function (editor) {
        return placeholderDialog(editor);
    });
    CKEDITOR.dialog.add('editplaceholder', function (editor) {
        return placeholderDialog(editor, 1);
    });
})();

Use the following to get option's text:

var input = this.getInputElement().$;
console.log( input.options[ input.selectedIndex ].text );
>> "description1"
