Dashboards & Visualizations

Question regarding Dropdown Input (Folder Structure)

Is it possible to have a "folder structure" within a single drop down within a dashboard. My use case is to display certain objects within a dashboard. The information displayed is dependent on the user making a selection in the drop down. The drop down would be similar to the following:

<Heading 1>
  <Topic 1>
  <Topic 2>
  <Topic 3>
  <Topic ....>
<Heading 2>
 <Topic A>
 <Topic B>
 <Topic C>
 <Topic .....>

The drop down options are static and not dynamic (I intend to add a search function as a phase 2 thing) but initially just trying to get the drop downs as needed.

I am using a "panel depends...." configuration in the XML to show the content depending on the selection made. The only way that I am aware of to make the drop down work the way I want is to add multiple inputs but then I can't use the same token value in each input so that when a select changes the panel changes. The alternate way is to prefix each drop down but visually that doesn't look nice, e.g.

<heading1 - topic1>
<heading1 - topic2>
<heading1 - topic3>
<heading1 - topic....>
<heading2 - topica>
<heading2 - topicb>
<heading2 - topicc>
<heading2 - topic....>
