You can get the selected options like this:

$('#mySolContainer').searchableOptionList().getSelection();

or

var sol = $('#mySolContainer').searchableOptionList();

// add click handler to all links present on page for demonstration purpose
$('a').on('click', function() {
   var selectedOptionsAsArray = sol.getSelection();
   // do what you need to do
});
