Need to read Ember component property as array of model

I passed the result of a store query this.store.findAll('something') to a component so I could create a dropdown control. Everything works great but I'd like to find the object I selected by reading this property.

Everything I read says its bad practice to inject the store into these components and since I already have the data in the property I thought it would be easy to read. However its in an Ember model array that doesn't seem to be so easy to open because the array is deep down the stack.

I started heading down something like this.get('myprop').content... but I wondered if this was the correct way to do this. It seems I should be able to open them as the model they should be.

Any suggestions would be helpful.
