This idea came about due to having a column with a dropdown control (records selectable though a reference to another table/view), but wanting to always have the records on display and not just expand the dropwdown on click.
Thus, the issue at hand is to always have the records visible on screen for that column.
We would be interested in a solution that displays the records as separate selectable checkboxes (see image below). The checkboxes can be selected as a domain control type, but they do not produce this result. It is possible, however, that we might be missing something.

The context behind this idea is a very specific one. We have made this with a view, however, for our purposes, it gets to have an inconsistent feel due to other functionalities in our table. Having them be displayed with checkboxes like above, instead of a dropdown, would be a perfect solution.
We would also be open to a solution that could force the dropdown to always be expanded, thus removing the need for an extra click.
