I don't think it should be done at all. The ctrl-click method is a
standardized way of multiple selections in list-boxes together with
shift-click multiple selection. There is no way you can get the shift-click
selection with checkboxes. That means that selecting all will need you to
check every single box.

Having checkboxes for multiple selection can be useful sometimes, but as a
general option for properties it's not a good idea.

Yes, properties need properties too. And they need security. And they
validation. And when you do need these things, you might consider moving the
properties to a Formulator form. It has these things.
