I'm looking for a way to put a mini dropdown menu after EVERY link inside a .Post-body div., but I can't find the right way.

My example div: https://jsfiddle.net/0zc4pbqh/2/

<div class="Post-body"><p><a href="https://www.netflix.com/" rel=" nofollow ugc">https://www.netflix.com/</a> lorem ipsum lorem ipsumlorem ipsumlorem ipsumlorem ipsumlorem ipsum <a href="https://www.netflix.com/" rel=" nofollow ugc">https://www.netflix.com/</a>  lorem ipsumlorem ipsumlorem ipsumlorem ipsumlorem ipsumlorem ipsumlorem ipsumlorem ipsumlorem ipsumlorem ipsum</p></div>

What is the correct way to do this?

p.s. I want to fill this dropdown with a website screenshot (from an api).

try this although its has some bug when you go bottom of page or right end which can be tweaked

const pbody = document.querySelector(".Post-body"),
        ancS = pbody.querySelectorAll("a"),
        menu = pbody.querySelector(".menu")

ancS.forEach(each=>{
    each.addEventListener("mouseover",e=>{
        let cords = each.getClientRects()[0],
            x = cords.x, 
            y = cords.y,
            offset = {x:0,y:40}
        menu.style.display="block"
        menu.style.left = (x + offset.x) + "px"
        menu.style.top = (y + offset.y) + "px"

        // on menu show (each is current anchor tag)
        menu.innerHTML = "you are hovering over :" + each.href
    })
    each.addEventListener("mouseout",e=>{menu.style.display="none"})
})
.menu {
    position: absolute;
    width: 300px;
    height: 300px;
    background:white;
    box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 2px black;
    display: none;
}
<div class="Post-body">

<script>  
function favTutorial() {  
var mylist = document.getElementById("myList");  
document.getElementById("favourite").value = mylist.options[mylist.selectedIndex].text;  
}  
</script>  
<div class="Post-body"><p><a href="https://www.netflix.com/" rel=" nofollow ugc">https://www.netflix.com/
<select id = "myList" onchange = "favTutorial()" >  
<option> ---Choose tutorial--- </option>  
<option> w3schools </option>  
<option> Javatpoint </option>  
<option> tutorialspoint </option>  
<option> geeksforgeeks </option>  
</select>  </a>

You need to create a select with specific ID and use that ID to display your dropdown list. You can use class also (document.getElementsByClassName) if the content of all the dropdowns are same.
