How to hide drop-down menus but still use folder structure?

Hello!

I'd like to be able to use the folder structure for pages so that the section name (in this case, "Work") is underlined when you go to individual project pages. But I do not want that to result in the drop-down menu from that section name in the main nav (the menu will be too long because they are projects in a portfolio). So I think I'd need to:

1. In the Pages section, add a Folder and call it "Work" and add all individual project pages into it (Done)
2. Make that folder name clickable in the main nav so it goes to a Work landing page (Saw a post about that here already)
3. Remove the drop-down menu from the main nav ( I will ink to individual projects from images on the Work landing page. (Need help with this)

Thanks for your help!

What is your site url? We can check easier

So, I know that is a common ask on here, but I don't want to publicly share a URL to a site that is not public/published yet.

Is there any other way?
