Current behavior
Currently in a MultiSelect component selected options get shown where the defaultLabel would be.

Expected behavior
Would it be possible to support a fixed label? So in the screenshot above it would always say "Choose" as opposed to "Audi, BMW". Similar to the screenshot below but with Audi and BMW checked.

I could do this with an OverlayPanel where the overlay contains a checkbox group (similar to this example https://www.primefaces.org/primereact/#/overlaypanel). But I was wondering if there could be a more streamlined approach since I'd have to rebuild the search and cancelling functionality.

We need to wait first the PR.

Added fixedPlaceholder={true | false} for this behavior.
