Is it possible to add an extra column of data on a choice list that is
related to the selection? When my user selects ".e.g. Texas" from a list
of states I would like to later access other data stored on that choice row
relative to the "Texas" selection.
If such a capability exists my thought is that somehow i could just add
data columns to the choice list containing "Texas" and somehow access
those related data via a variable??
Looking for an easy answer!
Thanks!

This is possible within the XForms XML file, but is not directly supported
by the form-generation tools (XLSForm or Build).
You can do this with the cascading selects construct -- see the XLSForm
documentation here: http://opendatakit.org/help/form-design/xlsform/ for a
link to an example form.
These generate an XML file with content described here:
Note that the cities are nested underneath the states. So you can put data
under 'Texas' using this same mechanism. And access that data using an
XPath.
