$(".selector").wijmenu("option", "trigger", "input")

Remarks

If the trigger is set to a menu item(the <li> element), then the submenu appears when the item is clicked if the triggerEvent is set to click. If the trigger is set to an element outside of the menu, then the menu opens when the element is clicked if the triggerEvent is set to click as a contextmenu.
