Is it possible to create a filterstructure as shown on hidden link where every tag, categorie or custom field are checkboxes in a dropdown?

That's not possible as a built-in feature. But it can be implemented using some custom code or a Javascript library.

Check this online thread on how to create checkboxes inside dropdowns https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19206919/how-to-create-checkbox-inside-dropdown
Or this Bootsrap plugin hidden link

Thank you!
Do I need to implement this outside of Toolset with complete custom coding or can this be done inside the legacy editor since I want to load taxonomies and categories and filter a view or archive.

Whether you build the view or archive with the legacy editor or the blocks editor, you can implement the checkboxes inside the dropdown, using either a custom code solution, like the ones discussed below. Note that you will need to adapt the CSS code to Toolset classes:

Or using a Javascript library like this one, and you will have to use Toolset classes in the Javascript code to initialize the multiselect.
