How to toggle office-ui-fabric detailslist row selection using the entire row as a toggle instead of just using the small tiny checkbox

I'm using Office UI Fabric React components and i'm trying to improve change the default selection behavior for a DetailsList. By default, there is a difference between clicking a row and clicking the tiny checkbox on the right. I want the same effects of the checkbox click to apply to the row click.

When you click the checkbox it toggles the row and does not deselect other rows like when I use a row click. You can also use shift click and control click and all the other nice types of clicks as well here.

How can I make it so that clicking on a row has the same functionality as clicking on one of the checkboxes? enter image description here

Try using this custom onRenderRow function for the DetailsList:

onRenderRow = (props: IDetailsRowProps, defaultRender?: IRenderFunction<IDetailsRowProps>): JSX.Element => {
    return (
      <div data-selection-toggle="true">
        {defaultRender && defaultRender(props)}
      </div>
    );
  };

Works for both SelectionMode.multiple and SelectionMode.single: https://codepen.io/anon/pen/YoEzzE
