Isn't this two different things?

1) We need to register Yes (or Yes/No) for each selected item in order to
analyse on each of them, thus we need a number of data elements

2) It would be nice to have a way of grouping data elements in the user
interface even beyond sections, i.e. to use one widget for multiple data
elements, like a multiple selection list box:
