In the context of the new drop-down menu...

Perhaps they could just be rendered as

[ ] Val1
[ ] Val2

and if you choose one of them, then we go to 

[x] Val1
[ ] Val2

(and close the menu), and then you have to open it again to click on:

[x] Val1
[x] Val2

Because I don't know a way to make the menu stay up after clicking on
it.
