configure so mouseover launcher arrow pops up menu

I'm running xfce 4.16.4 on Debian bookworm & I'm wondering if there is a way to set the panel so that when the mouse goes over the arrow for the launcher the launcher menu automatically pops up.
Thanks!!

Hi and welcome.

You can simulate clicks with xdotool. One part of your shell script should monitor mouse events with either xev or while xdotool, the other part simulate a button click with xdotool click --window <WINDOW> 1.
