This is a custom checkbox for situations where a standard checkbox does not fit the visual design system. Ideally, these should employ progressive enhancement and be created and works as a proxy to a standard checkbox. All standard checkbox behavior and accessibility features should be included in this widget. If we replace a standard widget, it should never lose features.
