Activate Drop Down list when "Include arrow" is active?

[carlsson]

Is there any way to show the Drop Down list without the mouse, when "Include arrow to show and hide list" is active?

Example:

TheField has a Control Style set to Drop Down list with Include arrow to show and hide list.
My cursor is currently in TheField.
I want to activate the Drop Down menu without using the mouse.

 

A possible solution would be to have a copy of TheField below the other one. This copy would be set to Drop Down list, but with Include arrow un-checked. Then, create a Script that goes to this copy, thus activating the Drop Down list. However, I am intending to use this field in a portal, and it would be awful lot of copies of the fields, and other probems (naming the fields as objects, for example).

 

Any ideas?
