Enhancement: Dropdown In Menu Should Be Able to be Emphasized Without Opening

[edmcman]

A regular menu item that is active is visually emphasized as being selected. A dropdown in the menu that is active is expanded. It would be nice if there was a way to visually emphasize the dropdown without expanding it.

Not sure that an example is needed, but here is one showing the difference in behaviors:

Here is a fork of your example that uses javascript instead of a "simple ui dropdown": https://codepen.io/bcroq/pen/bzJWxm

The problem is not the same (clicking the item doesn't display the dropdown) but the cause is the same: "active item" also means "active ui dropdown".
