Add a setting for the "entity_browser_select" views field to show the checkbox / select (and use it)

Created on 20 August 2025, about 2 months ago

Problem/Motivation

The "View" entityy browser selection widget uses checkboxes / radios (entity_browser_select views field), but in entity_browser.view.js hides them:

// Hide selection cells (selection column) with checkboxes.
selection_cells.hide();

And they are not actually getting checked because of the event.preventDefault(); call. Nor their :checked state is syned with the selection below.

This results in bad UX, as these known form selection elements are not used giving important visual feedback to the user.
