 ## Custom trigger
 
 `MenuTrigger` works out of the box with any pressable React Aria component (e.g. [Button](Button.html), [Link](Link.html), etc.). Custom trigger elements such as third party components and other DOM elements are also supported by wrapping them with the `<Pressable>` component, or using the [usePress](usePress.html) hook.
