In Dropdown Menu parent element is not clickable

@adialbu How you solve this?

On Bootstrap the parent item of a dropdown menu is, by design, clickable only to open the dropdown and not as a link.

Here is the short version of why:

In Bootstrap, we use a mix of both hover and click though–hover for tooltips and popovers, clicks for dropdowns and more. What it really boils down to is user intent. The purpose of a hover state is to indicate something is clickable (underlined text) or to provide some quick information (full URL in a tooltip). The purpose of a click is to actually do something, to take an explicit action. Opening a dropdown is an explicit action and should only happen on click.
