 * Hi,
 * I’m building a major website for people with mobility issues due to braindamage,
   I would like add dropdown to a menu item and a link to a specific page. So it
   has to be double tasked. I’m sorry for my terrible and horrible English. Does
   anyone understand my issue?
 * Looking forward to the replies.
 * Thanks in advance!
 * Take care, stay clean.
 * Regards Paul

 * Menu functionality varies by theme, but typically clicking a menu item goes to
   the linked page and clicking the down arrow or `+` icon next to it opens the 
   drop down. I’m unsure how one individual item could do double duty unless a condition
   can be defined to tell it to do one thing or another.
 * What trouble do those with impairments have that you are trying to solve?

 * Hi,
 * Exemple:
 * The page should link to: [https://www.pahoma.nl/pkclub-crossgym/](https://www.pahoma.nl/pkclub-crossgym/)
 * At the same time a dropdown menu should appear. Wich show the different options(
   locations).
 * I really hope that somebody can/will help me to solve this case.
 * Thanks in advance!

 * “At the same time” is where I’m confused. You can’t really do both — navigate
   else where AND display a drop down at the same time. One event must occur after
   the other. For example, the dropdown on the pkclub-crossgym page could be displayed
   automatically when the page is loaded, after navigating to the page. This can
   be done by including the “open” class in the menu’s li element.
 * Or the dropdown could be displayed on other pages first, then users would navigate
   directly to the specific gym location page, entirely bypassing the overall pkclub-
   crossgym page.

   it’s a little bit disapoiting. There must be any solution for this case, because
   in my world i don’t aggree with anything that seems impossible. Is’t there something
   i must edit in the core code?
 * Please help solving this issue,
 * Thanks in advance!
 * Stay healthy and fit.

 * I’m usually the one saying nothing is impossible! In computing though, something
   that would happen at the same time would be a rarity, everything happens in sequence.
   Things may happen in sequence that occur so fast that we perceive it to be simultaneous.
   Or it may be I’m misunderstanding what you want.
 * Editing core code is strongly discouraged and very rarely necessary. There are
   usually plenty of hooks that will accomplish nearly anything. I cannot suggest
   a solution if I don’t understand what is needed. Navigating to another page based
   on an event is at odds with displaying something based on the same event. You
   can literally display something, then navigate away, but what is displayed will
   quickly disappear when the new page is requested.
