I think one way to do this, using the component states, would be add a toggle on the pieces within the component to include that piece in the trigger area. If I could create a large component in various states, but only have a small trigger area, that would allow a lot more flexibility. Maybe even have several choices like, “no trigger” “trigger only in this state” (so a slide out menu could stay out), “always trigger”. And get nesting hover states to work.
