Checkbox outside the task function?

Questions & Help
1

Is there any way to create checkboxes outside the TODO functionality? Have searched here and tried standard markdown with no success.

The syntax is

first line of a block (then do a shift-enter)
* [ ] empty check box (note that this needs to be in the same block as the previous line)
+ [x] filled check box (yes you can use either + or *)

The catch is “checkboxes outside the TODO functionality” cannot be in the first line of a block.
