Possible to stop Menu from closing on MenuItem press?

[dougmacknz]

With the react-aria-components Menu, is it possible to intercept one of the ways in which it is triggered to close: when pressing a menu item?

I've tried using controlled open state but it doesn't give complete control because it seems onOpenChange still needs to be provided for the open state to change, and there's no way to avoid onOpenChange from triggering on MenuItem press as far as I can tell.

Multiple selection won't close https://react-spectrum.adobe.com/react-aria/Menu.html#multiple

What is it you're trying to accomplish though? Why do you want to prevent it from closing?

It is a rare case, but say that a MenuItem opens a modal, and you want the menu to remain open for when the modal closes.

Ah, we actually recommend that the Menu close and then the dialog opens. This discussion may help you determine how to do that #6438
