[TYPO3] Need help with TMENU and expAll...

I have a very specific need due to the client I work with... I'll do my
best at explaining what I need to implement.
Here is my Typo3 page tree:
+ Web Site
- Home
+ Data (Shortcut page to first subpage - non-clickable)
- 2006, 2007
- 2005, 2006
- 2004, 2007
- Links
+ Staff (Shortcut page to first subpage - clickable)
- About Us
- Contact
- Resources
The way I have my menus set up, they are working as you would expect...
If a user clicks on Data or Staff the corresponding subpages are
shown. No problems there.
My issue is that my client wants the Data section to always be expanded
no matter what page the visitor is on. This could easily be solved
using expAll, however my client does not want the Staff section to be
expanded unless it is clicked on, and they are very strict on this -
they will not change their minds on it.
Since the pages are on the same level of the page tree, is there a way
that I can set certain pages to always be in the ACT state (thus showing
them as expanded)?
I really need some help with this one... I have consulted the TSRef,
etc. and haven't found anything that could help me out other than
possibly writing a custom function to do this for me.
It would be GREAT if a page had a setting in the backend where you could
specify whether or not it is to always show as expanded in the
backend... (**sigh**)
All of my menus are TMENUs with <ul> and <li> wraps, with sub-menus
using nested <ul>'s inside of their parent <li>'s...
Any / All help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks in advanced!
