Bootstrap open link when clicked on dropdown menu button

I used bootstrap in my main menu and since my project has a lot of pages, subpages and sub-subpages I used the bootstrap dropdownmenu to navigate through this.

My client now wants to be able to go to the link associated with the dropdown-button itself too, rather than the childen. My client has text on a page called 'customer support', and text on subpages (children). Ideally I want the user to first click a dropdownmenu button (ex. "Customer service"), and a dropdownmenu opens up (which Bootstrap does), and on a second click be able to go to the link associated with that dropdownmenu button (ex. "/customer-service").

I'll share some code to make it a bit more understandable:

<body>
<nav class="navbar navbar-default">
    <div class="container-fluid">
        <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="bs-example-navbar-collapse-1">
            <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
                <li class="dropdown"> <a href="/customer-service" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" role="button" aria-expanded="false">Dropdown <span class="caret"></span></a>

                    <!-- click this menu-button once, and the submenu below opens, click this menu-button twice and you go to /customer-service -->
                    <ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
                        <li><a href="#">Action</a>
                        </li>
                        <li><a href="#">Another action</a>
                        </li>
                        <li><a href="#">Something else here</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="divider"></li>
                        <li><a href="#">Separated link</a>
                        </li>
                    </ul>
                </li>
            </ul>
            <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
                <li class="dropdown"> <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" role="button" aria-expanded="false">Dropdown <span class="caret"></span></a>

                    <ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
                        <li><a href="#">Action</a>
                        </li>
                        <li><a href="#">Another action</a>
                        </li>
                        <li><a href="#">Something else here</a>
                        </li>
                        <li class="divider"></li>
                        <li><a href="#">Separated link</a>
                        </li>
                    </ul>
                </li>
            </ul>
        </div>
    </div>
</nav>

(be sure to read the comment in the HTML and give the "Result-view" enough space/width so the menu appears)

Well, assuming you are using bootstrap 3.2.0 Here's the code:

<li class="dropdown">
   <a href="example.com/page">Dropdown</a>
   <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown"><span class="caret"></span></a>    
   <ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
      <li><a href="#">Action</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Another action</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Something else here</a></li>
      <li class="divider"></li>
      <li><a href="#">Separated link</a></li>
      <li class="divider"></li>
      <li><a href="#">One more separated link</a></li>
   </ul>
</li>

What i'm doing is making the carat open the menu, and the text href to wherever you want it to go to.
