No - since it will walk down the full rootline, but only write the uid 
to the register when the checkbox is set.

stdWrap will replace the title of the page completely, which is what you 
need since you don't want output but just a register to be filled.

So it seems that the registered value gets overwritten even though if 
returns false. (which IMHO is a bug) So you will have to reassign the 
registered value to the register before overriding it.

stdWrap.cObject = LOAD_REGISTER
stdWrap.cObject {
   mystartingpoint.data = register:mystartingpoint
   mystartingpoint.override {
     field = uid
     fieldRequired = tx_menurootpoint_menuroot
   }
}
