That's what I suggest too in my comment and for some time (maybe ever)
this will be the only solution to the problem.

Well as already lined out in my comment I'll take a look at it but I'm
not 100% sure this will be possible. Still I'll keep it on my TODO-List
maybe you could file a bug-report against Platform/UI prefixing the
Label with [Viewers] so it doesn't get lost.

On the other hand there are custom drawn controls like Nebula-Grida who
support more than one column holding checkboxes I think. Viewer support
for them is coming in 3.3M3.
