Hi @ashvin-bhuttoo. You should use the URL dialog to create this type of custom functionality. I'll convert this to a discussion topic as its not a bug with TinyMCE.

In tiny docs it is clearly mentionned:

Events: Interacting with a checkbox component will fire the onChange function in the dialog’s configuration.

So this is actually a bug. but thanks anyway for pointing out the possible workaround.
