Can I use hover intent for better interaction with dropdown menus?

[jakemauer]

Currently I have some menus appearing on hover using [hover, hold] but due to the space between the activator button and the dropdown menu, if you're not quick the menu will disappear before your mouse pointer gets there.

Is there a way to utilize the existing hover intent service for this purpose?

Yes! You can make the hover intent smarter by detecting wether you're moving the cursor towards the pop over.
