This scenario is covered in the thread that myself and Brendan Sisson (of
Daemon) had here earlier this week (search the archive for "nav alias" and
you should find it - archives are at http://lists.daemon.com.au).

One option is to use the Symbolic Link (previously External Link) in the
Navigation object you want to refer to a different part of the nav tree.

However, you would currently have to write some code to interpret that as a
Nav Alias as opposed to an ObjectID.  BUT - to get the most effective use
from FarCry you have to have some coding to make the templates work well.
Therefore, you would get the "coding" person to write the ObjectID/NavAlias
translation code once and then use it site-wide in your templates.

I am hoping to convince Daemon to add the code for translating Symbolic Link
to either an ObjectID or NavAlias as part of the FarCry core.
