We basically built a button that had label text of either the single
selected item, or "3 items" and the full list in the tooltip.
When it was clicked it would open an interface for selecting from the list.

Semi-related:
A few years back a customer hired me to modify the Flextras
AutoComplete to allow for multiple selection.
https://github.com/Flextras/FlextrasComponents/tree/master/autoCompleteComboBox/Spark
The code is available under the Apache license; but you'll have to
built it into a library yourself--it was done after I stopped updating
builds on the Flextras web site.
