Hi all, is there a way to open the hamburger menu trough an action? I know there is an action to show the user profile screen but I’m interested to show just the menu structure.  
Thanks.

Just curious about your use case as cant the user just click the hamburger icon to open? Or are you using CSS to hide it, yet still want people to access it?

Sure, the user can click everywhere.  
I just want to improve UX and allow the user to simply click some part of a text to see what screens can be found under the hamburger menu.

I don’t think this is possible as of now. Would be nice to have a “show flyout/show hamburger menu” action but I can’t imagine of many use cases for Glide to push this as a priority.
