Using cm_DirectoryHotlist, press to open the list, press again to close.
Using cm_DirectoryHistory, press to open the list, press again to not close. cm_SrcOpenDrives also has this problem.

Can it be like cm_DirectoryHotlist, press to open, press again to close?

You speak about command cm_xxx, button are just a way to launch the command even if specialized.
Using the same command to open a dialog and close it if you call it again it called a toggle, and none of the command you refer are toggle.

In the case of history, drives, hotlist, if you click anywhere outside of the "popup" or press [ESC] it close automatically. It has been like this since decade.

I think it would be convenient to change them to be like cm_DirectoryHotlist, press to turn on, press again to turn off

I am a heavy user of keyboard shortcuts

If you click on a button with command cm_DirectoryHotlist while the directory hotlist is still open, it will close the directory hotlist and then immediately execute cm_DirectoryHotlist again, opening another directory hotlist.
