How can I keep dropdown menus open while inspecting them in dev tools? (lemmy.world)

The dropdown menu is here: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_select

I’d like to change the CSS of the dropdown elements in a <select> element in dev tools, but I can’t make the dropdown stay open.

I don't know if your assertions are right or if mine are either. But my understanding is that dropdowns are an OS feature and consequently the OS is responsible for managing the open and close state of dropdowns, depending on focus. Again, I'm not sure and I'm not expert. It's just what it's looked like to me as an observer.

Well I'll note, I'm on Mac its's not a native dropdown menu, this is what it looks like:
