[Feature Request]: Add overlay/module tabs functionality #2068

Description

Prerequisites

  • I have searched existing issues to ensure this feature hasn't already been requested
  • I have tested using the latest version of docs-builder

What problem are you trying to solve?

For navigation ease and to save real estate space, it would be nice to have an overlay tab functionality where a user clicks or hovers over a tab, and it displays a separate page, with additional sub-tabs (see image). This goes beyond our current tabbed component feature, because full-page content would exist inside each tab. This would be especially nice to have for a trial docs page we're hoping to publish. Instead of navigation through vertical space, long text or TOC, users can easily find their solution of interest and access the content within those tabs.

Proposed Solution

Add functionality to where:

  • If I hover over a top-level tab, it displays the contents of that page
  • If there are sub-tabs or sub-headings on a page, when I hover over a tab, it also displays the contents of that page
  • I should be able to hover back and forth between tabs, and it display the correct content based on which tab I select

Examples and Research

Apple's website displays this feature nicely.

Alternative Solutions

This feature doesn't exist, and our tabbed components feature doesn't work the same way.

Additional Context

This would be especially nice to have for a trial docs page we're hoping to publish. Instead of navigation through vertical space, long text or TOC, users can easily find their solution of interest and access the content within those tabs.

How important is this feature to you?

Nice to have
