The only way I know of would be through JavaScript, you could probably run an event that looks for a details tag and adds the attribute ‘open’ to it.

Something like this:

```plaintext
$('details').attr('open','')

```

Figuring out the right event to fire that on, is a different question.

지금 시점에서 JS가 여전히 “가장 쉬운” 솔루션인가요?
