I don't think this is possible. The menu items in the left column in the 
TYPO3 backend only change, when a user clicks on them.

When you change from one sub-module to another and bypass the "click", 
the previous item is still shown as active - even for core functions. 
For example:

BE admin user with username "admin" and password "password". You see a 
fatal error in SYSTEM -> Reports -> section "Security".

(quote) "The default backend user "admin" with password "password" is 
still present. [Edit this account], either deleting it completely or 
changing the username and password."

Where "Edit this account" links to the sysext "beusers" (SYSTEM -> 
Backend users". If you follow the link, you can edit the BE user account 
(module "Backend users"), but the menu LHS still highlights the 
"Reports" module. So, I assume, this is the default behaviour of TYPO3 CMS.

You could combine your two modules into one controller (and one 
sub-module) and let the user select the action by choosing an item from 
the dropdown box in the header. But I assume, this is not what you 
intend do have at the end?
