Feature Request: Dropdown - allow option to show dropdown on hover

[corifowler]

Everytime I create a dropdown menu, I am required to click on the button/dropdown title to initialize the menu, and there doesn't appear to be an option to initialize on hover (this is one of the settings allowed with regular Semantic UI). Is this something that can be added to the current functionality?

This is definitely something I'd like to add, though the question is how best to do it. Currently the dropdown supports an autoClose property, which handles the dropdown closing. If a trigger property is added, then the two properties will certainly overlap (e.g. what if the trigger is focus, but the auto close mode is disabled?

I'm thinking perhaps of just expanding the number of options available to a potentially trigger property, similar to how the popup does it.

What are your thoughts?

I like that idea, it should prevent glitchy behavior with the different events. Thank you!

I can't get it open on the click. I've added the SuiModule in the app module and the css is in a custom file added to styes. But When I click a dorpdown it doesn't open. Do I need jQuery for that?
