As a thought, you could do it with buttons and reveals. A small button like
[✓ ] Bowties are cool [✓ ] Fezzes are cool could be used to set your data fields. The button would swap/reveal itself as a checkmark or empty brackets depending on the state of the stored condition. (The documentation for RevealWidget seems to suggest that it can use data tiddlers). The code to make the boxes could be in macros so you would only need to write something like <<fauxchex "bowties" "yes" "no">> Bowties are cool <<fauxchex "fezzes" "yes" "no">> Fezzes are cool Then when/if a plugin becomes available, you could just replace the macros with the plugin/widget.
