I don't think what you want is achievable using *just* WiX authoring. You would need to use a custom UI handler for this, which is something that I don't have any experience with, and from what I do know about it is that it is quite a bit of work.
Perhaps you need to ask yourself if it's really so important to have it like this. Or you could try going back to SharpSetup and asking them to help.
