I want to create a multi-item selection drop-down in enaml.
ComboBox widget offers this but we can only select one item at a time. Same is the case with ObjectCombo widget (however slightly different in functionality from ComboBox).
Even something which closely replicates the end-functionality of being able to select multi items from a list, will be helpful, even if it's not a drop-down necessarily.
You can use the PopupMenu and make the actions checkable.

""" This example demonstrates how to popup a menu.
A menu can be popped up in 2-ways. The first is by declaring the menu as
a child of a widget and setting the 'context_menu' attribute to True. The
second method is by creating the menu on-demand, and then invoking it's
'popup()' method to show the menu at the current mouse location.
