Off the top of my head:  If there is space beneath the third option,  
a panel could simply open there, displaying the options in rows and  
pushing down your Submit button (which I'm assuming comes after this)  
lower on the page. That's probably your best bet. Or the rights could  
appear in a floating window next to the option. Or, if space is  
limited, the ugly solution would be the appearance of a multiple- 
select list widget. I'm sure there are others, plus variations on how  
the panels appear (fade in, slide in, etc.)
