Re-reading your post I think you didn't mean pathClass. Superfish doesn't have the coolness of Klaus's Tabs with it's history and bookmarking support, unfortunately. I think it's a little outside of the scope of Superfish (and maybe my skill).
If it helps any, you can call .focus() and .blur() on anchors inside Superfish. For example, if you go to the main Superfish documentation page and paste this code into the console of Firebug it will open all the submenus necessary (of the example menu) to show/focus a particular nested link: $('ul.superfish>li:eq(2)>ul>li:eq(3)>ul>li:eq(2)>a').focus(); .blur() works the same way to close the submenu. Obviously, the method I used to target the link was a bit mad-cap, but maybe the concept may help someone, for something. Joel Birch.
