Motivation
It is useful in certain situations to be able to select a category that is a parent of several child categories in order to represent the selection of all subcategories or a more abstract association than several leaf nodes.
Proposal
Ad the ability to select nodes that are parent nodes within the tree. Selected parent nodes should be added to the list of selected nodes and managed in the same way as other nodes.
Implementation
Probably implement this using a checkbox in front of each node in the tree. The checkbox will allow for the selection of a node and clicking a nodes URL will expand the node in the same behavior as before.
