Is there a way to display the dropdown menu shown on sitepoint by mouse click.

Currently, it shows the menu only on mouse hover.

You can add to this:

$("li.mega").hoverIntent(megaConfig); 

And make it this:

$("li.mega").hoverIntent(megaConfig).click(addMega);

Depending on how you want it to behave (you can test, see which seems more natural), you may want this instead:

$("li.mega").hoverIntent(megaConfig).click(function() {
  $(this).toggleClass("hovering");
});

If you only want it shown on mouse click, remove the .hoverIntent(megaConfig) part from that last example, leaving only the .click() part.
