How to use Information Windows as selector to simulate a Drop-down selector with multiple selections in MicroStrategy Web

A drop-down selector allows one to make a single selection. In a lot of scenarios, it can be useful to make multiple selections in a Drop-down selector. This can be simulated by using an Information Windows to act as a selector with multiple selections.
 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Use a Text or Image into the Document instead of Drop-down selector and then use it to call an Information Windows that will provide the Drop-down selector.
 
Follow the steps below:
1 – Insert a Text or Image that will call the Information Windows.
