so there is a way. I am re-reading the Navigation.html and there is:

{
        name = Movie;
        action = "session.navController.listMovieAction";
                
        /*
                displayName takes precedence over name for display purposes.
                If no displayName is provided, name is used.  Localized keys are
                "Nav.<displayName>" and "Nav.<name>" respectively.
        */
        displayName = "MovieKey";
        children = ("CreateMovie");
                /*
                Oddly, instead of specifying an array for childrenConditions, 
                a comma separated string of keyPaths is expected instead. All 
                children conditions must be met or no children will be shown 
                for the menu item.
                */
childrenConditions = 
"session.user.hasAdministratorAccessLevel,session.user.hasEmployeeAccessLevel";
        }


so why is it that is sometimes is so simple:

childrenConditions = "isSelected";

gives me exactly what I want
