Themeable Menu unable to navigate to parent of flyout

Using themeable menu for navigation of site, synchronizing with site manager.
a page was created as a parent, then other pages were nested below it (to right).
the flyout/dropdown of the child pages works as expected, however the parent cell is no longer clickable for navigation.
the parent cell is clickable to engage the dropdown.

I would assume it would take changing the dropdown action to triggering from hover instead of onclick, then not sure what that does to mobile navigation.

can the parent cell be made clickable for it's page and the dropdown triggered by hover?

if not the only alternative I see is making a duplicate of the parent page and putting it at the top of the dropdown, which is somewhat redundant.
thanks in advance.

If it were me, I'd probably synchronise it to get the latest, then unsynch it and add a specific menu item for the home page. More work if you keep adding pages, but easy to manage.

here are some images to help explain. once the pages 0092, 0093, 5609 are put as children of floor-plans.. then floor-plans is no longer a visitable page from navigation. its link is changed to # to facilitate the dropdown.

I want to know if the dropdown can be invoked from hover instead of onclick, so that clicking 'floor-plans' while children exist results in navigation to floor-plans page. not sure what this will do to the mobile version of the themeable menu, but on sites built with other platforms, this would change the mobile nav to tap once to expand, tap 2nd time to go to that parent page.

A menu item cannot be a link and a parent for a sub menu at the same time. This will not work on mobile devices because there is no 'hover' on touch devices and the 'click' action can only be assigned to one action.
