Solution
Yes. Template style → Navigation tab → choose the menu → click the "News" item → turn on Mega menu. Add a column and set its content to Module position, e.g. mega-news. Then publish an "Articles - Category" module (blog category, 4 items, ordering by publish date) in mega-news. The mega menu settings are saved in templates//local/etc/navigation/, so they stay after updates. On phones the off-canvas menu shows the normal submenu, not the dropdown.
