Navigating to first level menu items is not obvious

Problem/Motivation

I repost a part of @scott_euser s comment from #3439012-19: Usability review and feedback from testing because I think it is valuable feedback, that has not made it into the roadmap yet #3421969: [PLAN] New Navigation and Top Bar to replace Toolbar Roadmap: Path to Stable

The title within the drawer wasn't considered click-able. It looked like a header with no affordance being a clickable link.

> We had clients with the same issue, it was not obvious that they could get at the /admin/people list from this 'People' so they believed they only had access to create new users, but not access a list of existing users to make sure their colleagues could log in:

People navigation menu link

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

> A possible solution to that one (which could apply to the lower level as well) is to separate the menu item link from the ability to navigate to its child items:

improved link hover navigation

> This seems to match the advice in https://infinum.com/blog/website-navigation-dropdown-menus/ which shows that its 'Version 2' which has both the top level link clickable + the overview link within the sub-navigation as being the quickest to achieve the task + the least margin of error for users.

> A less clear UX article on it from NN hints at this too in item 12, but the separation only becomes clear when you actually visit the example they point to

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

Introduced terminology

API changes

Data model changes
