I thought behind those lines as well. It might be we could add a small
marker that
informs the user that checkbox is configurable.

I just attended a talk by
https://www.smashingmagazine.com/author/vitaly-friedman/
I asked Vitaly for the ideas for this "crazy checkbox" UI element.

As expected, Vitaly was quite puzzled, so unfortunately I got no ideas :)

One more idea would be having "regular" and "expert" modes, where regular
mode looks like checkbox,
and in expert mode, all "supercheckboxes" always show their "text fields".

Vitaly said regular/expert modes are a good pattern for UI.

In other words, "the first variant" by Felix could be "expert mode", and
"the second variant" could be "regular mode".

One more option is to show the text field in a popup/tooltip:
[ ] ▼ enable element

When you click on ▼ (triangle down or whatever), a popup appears that
overlays extra controls for the checkbox in question.
As an extra, it could contain extra information like JMeterProperty name,
option for configuring the field from a command line, etc

It could be a right triangle, so it "folds/unfolds" the text field (and
"global expert mode" unfolds all the folded fields)
