Hyperlinking to DHTML Drop-down Text in RH2017

Hello,

Is it possible to link directly to text within a drop-down text in RH2017 (meaning, the drop-down will expand and link directly to its designated image/text), instead of it only jumping to the hotspot?

I manage several projects with multiple (10-12) FAQ topics, each topic containing 0-15 FAQs, so I use DHTML drop-down hotspots/text for each FAQ, just makes it look neater/shorter. But it gets very confusing (and honestly doesn't even make sense) when the links jump only to the hotspot and not directly to the corresponding text within the hotspot that I am referring to.

I asked this question in a separate Forum thread (How can I configure Robohelp to display search results in DHTML drop-down hotspots? ) a few weeks ago, and have not received an answer.

Thank you so much!!

Tabby W.

I did respond by saying that there was a method that used to be on another site and advising that I would ping the site owner, which I did.

I am sorry that they have not responded but there is nothing else I can do. I don't have any details of the method myself.

There is also the point that the solution that did exist was for webhelp and if anyone can dredge it up, it may well not work in responsive help.

Yes, unfortunately, the link provided in the last thread no longer works and I don't know how to reach the site owner.

And I am using Responsive HTML5, not WebHelp.

I'm thinking there is no solution here and I should rework everything.
