One idea that doesn't require creation of a new field type is to use multiple check boxes with each option as the field name.

This would allow the user to easily select more than one option and could be used to filter on (although a bit less flexible)

A developer would need to write a new class for the new type of custom field.

For user profiles fields the current ones are in /user/profile/field/ or for totara hierarchy fields they are in /totara/customfield/field/.

There are a number of functions that need to be defined but it would be fairly straightforward for a developer to do it.
