Is there any solution on Amazon/IMDB dropdown menu at index page #2091

For those dropdown menus on upper right section, they have mouseover effects, however in the meantime being clickable which would trigger a hard refresh for anchor link. Current behavior of using 'f' would trigger navigation immediately, but you are able to see the expanded dropdown menu in a flash.

I saw similar issues listed before and also the thread on #1032 (but it closed?), but just curious to know is there any solution or usage suggestion? Thanks.

The PR #1948 Link hints context-menu mode implemented a hover command, but it's closed because of its other ideas.

I agree that a hover is still needed.

1948 is closed because it proved less useful than was expected. However, #484 continues to get a fair amount of support, so perhaps we should revisit that decision.

Thanks a lot for the comments, the hover strategy is to prove useful for most cases or one by one starting from some big names? Seems each site has their own version to deal with hover effects...

@MuhanZou the sites might use different frameworks, but it should basically boil down to "put cursor at X,Y coordinates and let the page know", with an option to have it click using a different activation option (since some sites do require that).
