Can I open an accordion using an external trigger?

I have the footnotes for a financial table hidden inside an accordion. It works great, but I want to be able to anchor the notes in the table down to the accordion, which will then open.

(The functionality of how the accordion opens is less important than it opening.)

I realise this may be outside of the accordion's scope, but thanks for getting this far.

Yes this it out of scope, but you should be able to implement it with something like this:

const handorgel = new Handorgel(...)

document.querySelector('[footnotes-link]').addEventListener('click', () => {
  const header = document.querySelector('[footnotes-fold-header]') // e.g. your h3
  const transition = true

  if (header.handorgelFold.expanded) { // fold is open
    // scroll directly to it
    yourScrollToFunction(header)
  } else {
    // scroll to fold after it has been opened to be sure get the right position
    handorgel.once('fold:opened', () => {
      yourScrollToFunction(header)
    })

    header.handorgelFold.open(transition)
});

Wondeful, thanks! I'll give it a go.
