Can I make the category tabs clickable to their own page?

This is probably pretty elementary...

Is it possible to make the tabs in the category menu clickable so it accesses its own page?

Basically, I'd like the category menu organized in such a way so that when you hover over them the drop-down menu shows all of the different articles/posts within that category. But I would also like the category tab itself link to its own page so that when clicked, it takes you to detailed article on the category.

Does this make sense?
