Yes, it is possible to build a menu in Webflow with a hover interaction that doesn't block the click interaction. You can achieve this by using the "Hover" trigger in the interactions panel. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Create your menu structure: Start by creating a div block and adding your menu items as links inside it. You can style the menu items as desired, like changing the font color or size.

  2. Set up the hover interaction: With the menu div block selected, go to the interactions panel. Click on the "+" button to create a new interaction. Choose the "Hover" trigger from the dropdown menu.

  3. Define the hover in state: In the interactions panel, you will see two buttons labeled "In" and "Out" under the "Hover" trigger. Click on the "In" button to define the hover-in state. Here, you can set up any hover effects you want, like changing the background color or adding a drop shadow.

  4. Define the hover out state: Click on the "Out" button to define the hover-out state. This is where you can revert any changes made in the hover-in state. For example, you can change the background color back to its original state or remove the drop shadow.

  5. Apply the interaction: Once you have defined both the hover-in and hover-out states, click on the "Apply" button in the interactions panel to save your changes. Now, when you hover over the menu item, the hover effect will be applied, but it won't block the click interaction.

By following these steps, you can build a menu in Webflow with a hover interaction that doesn't block the click interaction. This allows users to still click on the menu items even with the hover effect applied.
