No, the open state for the menu button is not directly shown in the element settings of Webflow. However, you can still achieve this functionality by utilizing interactions and adding a class to the menu button for the open state. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Select the menu button element on your Webflow project.
  2. In the right sidebar, go to the Interactions tab.
  3. Click on the "+" button to create a new interaction.
  4. Choose the trigger for your open state, such as a Mouse Click or Tap trigger.
  5. Select the element(s) you want to affect when the menu opens, such as the menu container element, and add the desired animations, such as sliding or fading in, to create the open state effect.
  6. Click on the "Affect Different Element(s)" option to choose a different element than the menu button itself.
  7. Click on the "Class" option and enter a class name for the open state, such as "menu-open".
  8. Enable the "Add to All Elements with Class" option if you want this class to be added to all instances of the menu button element on your site.
  9. Save and publish your site to see the open state applied to the menu button.

By following these steps, you can create an open state for the menu button in Webflow using interactions and applying a custom class to style it accordingly.
