How to change the drop-down source input on my dashboard to a checkbox?

I have a dashboard that allows the user to choose the source of the data from a drop-down menu, and it will show the data one source at a time. I'd like to use a checkbox instead, to show more than one source at a time. I suspect the token delimiter is the answer, but I'm not sure if that's the way to go or not. Right now, my token prefix is (source=/path/to/xml and the suffix is ), and the user chooses the xml file in that source directory, which is autopopulated by the filenames in the directory. I'd like to keep that logic if possible.

Is what I'm asking for possible?

Try this

      <prefix>(</prefix>
      <suffix>)</suffix>
      <valuePrefix>source="/path/to/xml/</valuePrefix>
      <valueSuffix>"</valueSuffix>
      <delimiter> OR </delimiter>
