Yes it is possible you have to trigger mousedown event by fireEvent – jave.web Aug 28 '13 at 09:44

In short: no, it's not possible. Long answer, see How do you open a select box with JavaScript?.

Adding this as an option kendo has a dropdown that has an open method https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/dropdownlist#methods-open – dburmeister Oct 06 '17 at 18:53

If you want to "open" a selectbox, this is impossible - see Stack Overflow question Click trigger on select box doesn't work in jQuery for more information.
If you want to select a value, you should use .val().

Can't be done, you can use .trigger('focus') but it will not open the drop down.
