Ah, I see what you mean now, although the combo boxes are only used  
on the background pages, where there are more than one download per  
item. As you can see from using your script, the layout becomes a bit  
ugly  when there are more and more download items. Personally I would  
have preferred some javascript to reveal a list of links and further  
info when you hover over an item, but sadly my javascript/html skills  
where not up to the job. If you fancy having a go, by all means let  
me know and I will see if I can integrate it.
