You should take a look either at SeamSelectItems on the wiki or s:selectItems in 1.1.5 (which is based on SeamSelectItems). The wiki one comes with an EntityConverter (I assume from what you are saying the objects are entities) which should work ootb. The one in 1.1.5 doesn't, but I will package up the entityconverter separate to work with it some point soon.
