Is it possible to provide a list of options to someone in a snippet? For example at a tabstop, rather than them writing in text, you could provide a list of options that they could select from?
I'm imagining something similar to the one that pops up to disambiguate shortcuts.

Ok, fair enough.
Is there any other way to fake this kind of behaviour, such as by adding a dictionary of words into the escape completion list of words?

Currently not, no.

Just a thought, but I think you could have your snippet insert a word that triggers multiple snippets (all set to the same tab trigger) followed by a $0, so after the initial snippet they would press tab and be given the menu of triggered snippets that would replace the current word. This is essentially the same as the repeating tabstops idea from yesterday...

That is very clever, but I've just tried it and it appears that tab doesn't cause a snippet to start whilst it is in a snippet. Once you get to $0 then they will work, but not in the middle of a snippet.
Shame.
