Make Secondary Navigation elements available on hover

Description

When in the issues view, you would want to go to the general project wide "builds" view. In order to do this now, you would have to load the "pipelines" view first as only then the secondary navigation, which holds the link to "builds", becomes visible.

See this analyzed amazon approach and developed a similar jquery based (side) menu available on github, maybe the alogrithems could be adopted.
