That what exactly what I was looking after. I think it would be not

The normal selection behavior is for selecting the active layer in
my view. The additional checkbox should allow to blend in/out the
other layers.
I couldn’t think of a better/more intuitive way to achieve this.
To implement this, I just thought about using a tableview in the
popup menu. There we have very similar behavior. You have a
selection and checkboxes. And clicking the checkboxes does not
change the selection.
I'd suggest using a table view in a floating panel. The selection sets
the active layer, and checkboxes are supported and expected. A menu
for this is really just trying to implement a pop-up table, which is,
err, unorthodox, to say the least. If the user is in the habit of
using the click-drag-release method of using menus, your interface
just won't work for them - they will see no obvious way to check the
boxes. Your design requires a certain behaviour that not everyone
makes use of, and in fact wasn't even possible until system
7.something (that was a while ago I know).
