Reproduction

This is noticeable on the documentation page for any vertical navigation menu with children navigation items.

Description

The parent item renders as a <button> tag instead of the <a> tags of other navigation menu items. This means the to: attribute is ignored (and target) and can't be clicked on. This is likely due to the parent and children being converted to a Collapsible component under the hood.

When the orientation is horizontal, however, you can have both the parent and children be links - where they render <a> tags. Hovering over the horizontal parent shows the children, but the parent can still be a link.

Ideally, we could set a boolean to control whether the children are converted to a Collapsible or not. Or wrap the Collapsible parent around a link. Understandably, the click then couldn't trigger opening/closing the collapsible (maybe the icon triggers opening/closing, while the label can still have the Link attributes available).
