[Question]: Why does the custom overflow menu closes on click

[brampeirs]

Detailed description

The overflow menu with custom template allows you to implement your own template. In our use case we are adding a list of checkboxes, a cancel and save button. The menu closes when clicked however. When looking at the storybook, there the issue is reproducable.

Is this a feature request (new component, new icon), a bug, or a general issue?
[bug]

Is this issue related to a specific component?

menu should not close, and we should be able to call close() on the menu ourselves.

Additional information

we currently get around this by removing the onClick logic via patch package.
and by calling the close method ourselves

@ViewChild(OverflowMenuDirective) overflowMenu?: OverflowMenuDirective;
 this.overflowMenu?.close();

The custom overflow menu is deprecated as of v5. Instead, you should use toggletip or popover component.
