Steps for list item in dropdowns? #49

Is there anyway to allow bootstro to show popovers for items in button dropdowns?

I did tied by targetting the

    bootstro only applies on items that are currently displayed. You might add some javascript to open the dropdown before starting bootstro and closing it when bootsro is finished. This would be a fast workaround. Handling this inside bootstro might be a bit more complicated.

    @paulcanning yes please workaround like @DaSchTour described. And that showing dropdown can be done in .onStep() function. It's not really relavent to add this to bootstro. Best

    I thought a bit about this problem, and it turned out, that .onStep functions has some issues

    1. It's badly documented and I have no real idea how to use it
    2. You have to know exactly the steps that are done, this means that when an element is missing my action might not be triggered
    3. We would need something like a onStepIn and onStepOut to trigger some javascript before the step is done and before leaving the step
    4. I have the impression, that onStep needs the number index, which I also may not know when building something with json
