Tyler,

Don't get me wrong, I'm in no way trying to be argumentative!

You may be right that indexed search may be affected, I wouldn't know
without testing it. If the menus are different, however, each event
would have to be cached multiple times anyway; once for each different
menu branch.

In response to the feature you suggest, however, maybe it would be
possible to simply change the internal Pages UID before the FE
generates the form, with only minimal code changes? Could this even be
done in the template? I'm not very experienced in typo3, but I would
guess it is possible, somehow. Incase I haven't made my idea clear,
could you perhaps generate the extension content based on the actual
value of $_GET['id'] passed in the url, and then assign a new value to
$_GET['id'] based on the additional variable also passed in the URL by
your list page, and only then generate your menu?
