There are a few collections around like: https://github.com/adi1090x/rofi

These things tend to imply dependencies for how they're implemented plus whatever they are integrating. The UX is definitely the right one tho! Rofi is great for working on custom dev tools - you can pass lines in as stdin, it sends back the selected item on stdout, then you exec the matching output command.

I started a project called 'ralphie' to do this with babashka a couple years ago, but later i absorbed that into a monorepo called clawe - you can see the rofi namespace here: https://github.com/russmatney/clawe/blob/3987390ffe538d878045e9d886190542fb111b9e/src/ralphie/rofi.clj#L146-L156
