onclick open hidden selectbox options on mobile

Question

When I press on a link I want to open the selectbox options. On mobile phones options are popping out.

I tried with .click(), .trigger("click"), .change() nothing seems to open it. Is this even possible?

$(document).on('click', '#filters a', function(e) {
  $('select').trigger("click");
});

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<ul id="filters">
  <li>
    <a href="#">Open selectbox 1</a>
    <div style="display:none">
      <select multiple>
        <option>option 1</option>
        <option>option 2</option>
      </select>
    </div>
  </li>
</ul>
