Open Select without click on child component

[pedrommuller]

I'd like to know how can I open a Select without using the click method on the child component used to render the select.

<UserSelect
          items={allUsers} popoverProps={{ minimal: false }}
          noResults={<MenuItem disabled={true} text='No results.' />}
          itemRenderer={renderUser}
          itemPredicate={filterUsers}
          onItemSelect={(item,ev)=>{onItemSelectHandler(item,ev);} }>
          <p ref={usersDropdownRef} > click me test</p>
        </UserSelect>

Instead of using the click on the paragraph, I'd like to set a prop in UserSelect like isOpen = {myVar}, how can I achieve a similar solution?

Control the underlying Popover with popoverProps={{ isOpen: true }}
