Short answer: No, the text isn’t exposed in selected_value. But you can store as much information in the value as you want to. Eg:

# The "value" for each item is a (name,value) tuple
self.year_drop_down.items = [
  ("2002", ('2002', 1.4)), 
  ("2003", ('2003', 2.2))
]

# ...and then later...
name, value = self.year_drop_down.selected_value
