Hi Tim.

I use ERXNavigation and have a large number if D2W generated pages. I
took the decision early on to use custom Direct Actions for these
menus - with different classes reflecting different submenus. I also
use some conventional non-D2W components manually crafted (eg the home
page) and so those DAs simply do a pageWithName call.

As such you could use a custom navigation menu in a dedicated pagewrapper.

In addition, one can change the menu at run time based on some
condition. My rule is session.authenticatedUser.role.isSystem for
example for my admin related submenus.
