Multiselect/Checkbox HierarchicalMenu Using Instantsearch

TLDR David sought a way to create a multiselect/checkbox HierarchicalMenu using Instantsearch. Jason suggested a custom widget, but no satisfactory solution was found.

Does anyone know if it's possible to do a multiselect/checkbox HierarchicalMenu using Instantsearch? Or a custom hacky solution with nested RefinementLists maybe?

yeah i've seen that thread, they cannot solve it there either. and algolia's response is just "As of now we do not support multiple selections in a hierarchical menu. The implementations is tedious and will require a significant number of request operations. This is not in our roadmap for the next quarter. I’m sorry"

Hmm, I vaguely remember at least one user showing an implementation like this with instantsearch and a custom widget using connectors
