[TYPO3-commerce] categories as menu - can I add a "normal" page menu item

Hi again,

>     20 = HMENU
>     20 {
>         # another menu item that is fetching the pages

sorry, had a little typo there which I fixed in this quote. The COA 
doesn't contain TMENUs in first level but HMENUs which themself contain 
TMENUs.

Another solution if it's only one link appended would be, to use the 
stdWrap properties of your category menu and append a cObject that is 
rendering your link:

-----------
lib.menu = HMENU
lib.menu {
	1 = TMENU
	1 #your category menu
	stdWrap {
		append = TEXT
		append {
			value = label of your link
			typolink.parameter = id of your page
		}
		outerWrap = <ul id="navi">|</ul>
	}
}
-----------
something like that. It's untested - maybe you have to tweak some lines, 
but you get a picture.
