🙏 NavigationMenu for simple dropdown?

[simovicaleksa]

Problem

I am struggling to implement a simple nested dropdown menu using the NavigationMenu component. I've attached a video of my problem below.

How can I position NavigationMenuContent relative to each NavigationMenuTrigger?

Expected behavior

I want to achieve something similar to a DropdownMenu / Popover component, where the Content is positioned relative to Trigger and still persists the onHover smart opening / closing behavior that the NavigationMenu component has.

Am I using the wrong component for the job here? Is there a simple solution that does not require making my custom menu component behavior and accessibility using Dropdown and Popover?
