Pausing an interaction?

Hi everyone,

New to the forums, been on Webflow for about a month or so and this is the first thing I haven’t been able to find an answer to. Perhaps it’s already been solved and I’m lacking the right vocabulary to describe my query or it might not have been documented yet.

I’m currently working on a menu bar which follows the mouse around using the mouse move over element interaction. As the menu follows the mouse it appears as small box, on hover the menu trigger becomes visible and finally you click for a dropdown menu to reveal itself.

Everything is working fine so far apart from one problem. When the menu is revealed the original mouse over effect makes it difficult to select the links form the menu.

What I’m wondering is, is it possible to disable the mouse over interaction as menu is revealed?

I’ve included a link + gif to better describe what I’m talking about.
