I think I see what you're trying to do: It looks like you want to keep track of what menu item is highlighted. I don't think this information should be pushed down to the action layer. I would use a Tile to render the menu, and perhaps a Tiles controller to determine which item is highlighted. One way to do it would be to pass a request parameter noting an index of the menu item that was clicked. Then the Tiles controller could look at that parameter to highlight the correct one.
