How can I configure Robohelp to display search results in DHTML drop-down hotspots?

Question

Hello. We designed our online help using drop-down hotspots (this look is much cleaner to us). Problem is, when a user searches for something and clicks the Search results topic page  to find the information, the topic page displays, but does not expand the drop-down hotspot to show the exact location of the searched item. Is there a JavaScript or some other solution to get the DHTML hotspot to expand, showing the information? Thanks.

Hello!!I know this question was answered long ago for RH8/9. How can I get MY version of RoboHelp to hyperlink to text within a DHTML drop-down hotspot? I'm desperately trying NOT to revert to non-drop-down hotspots, as I have multiple dozens of them across dozens of FAQs topics. The topic pages will become VERY large. But since we're moving towards creating more discoverable content, this current setup is no longer working for us.RH version: 2017RH Output: Responsive HTML5Any other information you need?Thank you so much!!--Tabby
