you can use the auto complete feature in macro by adding required attributes.

ui_reference is a ui macro having support for attributes .. completer,columns.

Ex:

<g:ui_reference name="my_var" query="active=true" id="u_name" table="sys_user" attributes="ref_ac_columns=display_name,ref_auto_completer=AJAXTableCompleter" style="width:180px"/>

Result:
