Easily done with a little JS.

submitOptionText specifies those picklists (selects) whose option text (in addition to option value) is interesting to you.

valueField is the name of the visible field, textField is the hidden field that'll contain the option text.

MktoForms2.whenReady(function (mktoForm) {
	const submitOptionText = [
		{
			valueField: "Country",
			textField: "CountryFriendlyNameField"
		}
	];

	/* NO NEED TO TOUCH BELOW THIS LINE! */

	const formEl = mktoForm.getFormElem()[0];

	mktoForm.onSubmit(function (mktoForm) {
		const currentValues = mktoForm.getValues(),
			newValues = {};

		submitOptionText.forEach(function (fieldDesc) {
			const selectEl = formEl.querySelector(
					"select[name='" + fieldDesc.valueField + "']"
				),
				indexEl = selectEl[selectEl.selectedIndex];

			newValues[fieldDesc.textField] = indexEl.textContent;
		});

		mktoForm.addHiddenFields(newValues);
	});
});

Let me try to understand. You have a select field on your form - let's say "Country" - and you have value pairs that look like this in your advanced editor:

Deutschland|DE
Österreich|AT
Schweiz|CH

And now you want to save "Deutschland" to field A, and "DE" to field B?

No, don't think that's possible. You can created a "Change Data Value" Flow Step though on a Smart Campaign that listens to form submits that write "Deutschland" into field A, should the value in your select field be "DE". Like that:

Display Value	Stored Value
United States	US
Canada	CA
