In Survival mode:
Destroyed by | Drops: Minecart | Hopper | Hopper Contents |
Cactus | Yes | No | Yes |
Arrow | Yes | No | Yes |
TNT | Yes | No | Yes |
Pickaxe | Yes | Yes | Yes |
In Creative mode:
Destroyed by | Drops: Minecart | Hopper | Hopper Contents |
Cactus | Yes | No | Yes |
Arrow | No | No | No |
TNT | No | No | No |
Pickaxe | No | No | Yes |
In testing with cactus, there was a possibility that the hopper might land on the cactus and being destroyed. I used a hopper under the rail to try to grab the drops before this could happen. The hopper successfully grabbed the minecart and/or hopper contents, but never a hopper.
To test with an arrow in Creative, you have to initially aim at something else, then slide to target the minecart with hopper while holding down the use control.

It aslo works for tridents
According to the 1.15.0.55 beta changelog:
Hopper mine carts will now drop hoppers and mine carts when broken with a ranged weapon (MCPE-55859)
Can you verify whether this has also fixed the hoppers dropping with other methods of breaking?
