Question: Is it possible to use a checkbox in a split button list instead of the gear icon?

Thanks

Answer: 
If you mean an html checkbox, naugtur's answer is correct. Otherwise if you want to use a checkbox *icon* on the split list to the right, just add `data-icon="check"` to the second "a" tag in the li.
It sure is, but you might need to do some javascript coding for that. 

If I were you, I'd try and use a count bubble and place a checkbox in it.

OR

Simply put a checkbox in the `li` element and style it to `float:right`
