I may not be understanding what you're doing, since you haven't presented the tiddler-level view of your data.
But it seems like you can do something like this by having fields like "infotype" be list fields (at the tiddler level). The checkbox widget has action clauses for clicking and unclicking. You can use the action-listops widget to add or remove items from list fields.
