 ## Examples
 
+### Getting the Selected Item
+
+When dropdowns are used with [menus](/components/menu), you can listen for the `sl-select` event to determine which menu item was selected. The menu item element will be exposed in `event.detail.item`. You can set `value` props to make it easier to identify commands.
+
+```html preview
+<div class="dropdown-selection">
+  <sl-dropdown>
+    <sl-button slot="trigger" caret>Edit</sl-button>
+    <sl-menu>
+      <sl-menu-item value="cut">Cut</sl-menu-item>
+      <sl-menu-item value="copy">Copy</sl-menu-item>
+      <sl-menu-item value="paste">Paste</sl-menu-item>
+    </sl-menu>
+  </sl-dropdown>
+</div>
+
+<script>
+  const container = document.querySelector('.dropdown-selection');
+  const dropdown = container.querySelector('sl-dropdown');
+
+  dropdown.addEventListener('sl-select', event => {
+    const selectedItem = event.detail.item;
+    console.log(selectedItem.value);
+  });
+</script>
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can listen for the `click` event on individual menu items. Note that, using this approach, disabled menu items will still emit a `click` event.
+
+```html preview
+<div class="dropdown-selection-alt">
+  <sl-dropdown>
+    <sl-button slot="trigger" caret>Edit</sl-button>
+    <sl-menu>

 ### Placement
 
 The preferred placement of the dropdown can be set with the `placement` attribute. Note that the actual position may vary to ensure the panel remains in the viewport.
