I don't think Payments Standard supports it technically. You would need to use Payments Pro or Express Checkout, and then you would use the L_PAYMENTREQUEST_n_ITEMCATEGORYm parameter, where n is the payments number starting with 0 and m is the item number starting with 0.

So, you could have multiple payments on a single transaction, each with one or more items, and any or all of those items could be set as digital goods items.

See the Express Checkout Digital Goods documentation for more details.

If you're working with PHP then my class library for PayPal will make the Express Checkout integration very simple for you.
