While enabling the mouse, and after creating a DropDown one can select one of the options while not clicking directly on the DropDown area. Please check the attached screen recording.

The code I was running:

package main

import (
	"github.com/rivo/tview"
)

var app = tview.NewApplication()
var grid1 = tview.NewGrid()
var header = tview.NewTextView()
var dropbox = tview.NewDropDown()
var list1 = tview.NewList()
var textview = tview.NewTextView()

func main() {
	list1.ShowSecondaryText(false).
		AddItem("option1", "", 0, nil).
		AddItem("option2", "", 0, nil).
		AddItem("option3", "", 0, nil)
	textview.SetText("hello there!!!")
	dropbox.SetTitle("Items")
	dropbox.AddOption("item1", nil).
		AddOption("item2", nil).
		AddOption("item3", nil)
	grid1.SetRows(4, 2, 0).
		SetColumns(10, 10, 0, 10).
		SetBorders(true).
		AddItem(header, 0, 0, 1, 4, 0, 0, true).
		AddItem(dropbox, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, false).
		AddItem(list1, 2, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, false).
		AddItem(textview, 1, 1, 2, 3, 0, 0, false)
	app.SetRoot(grid1, true).EnableMouse(true).Run()
}
