Well, that would efford some work :)

Each view item has since version 1.1-beta 2 a hidden radio button (by CSS) that enables selection.

For realizing this feature the follwing steps have to be done:

1. Provide a configuration option for "Multiple" in the widget settings.

2. Extend the two view preprocess function with check boxes and load them when configuration option enabled:
- Row fields: theme.inc, function template_preprocess_nodereference_explorer_view_row_fields_selectable
- Table selectable: theme.inc, function nodereference_explorer_preprocess_views_view_table

3. Extend JS for check box selection in explorer.js, function Drupal.behaviors.NodereferenceExplorerSelection

4. Set values for parent widgets in exploreractions.js, function Drupal.nodereference_explorer.actions.setValue.
Synchronization with the form CCK fields may be needed, e. g. load addition widget via content/js_add_more call back.

Some more tasks have to be completed, f. e. when selection on different pages is wanted.

Patches welcome.
