This is a pretty unique question, and hopefully someone has an idea here. It shouldn't be that hard, but I'm not that skilled (yet) in Drupal.

I want to create a new menu module (or block - unrelated to Category_Menu) that is a menu of all of my Containers and categories. However, when I click on a Container or Category in the menu, I don't want to link to the page of that Cat or Cont - rather, all I want to do is drill down further. The best way to think of it is this - I want to be able to drill down to every Category, but I don't want to actually link to anything.

The reason I'm doing this is for a new way to pick Categories when trying to create content. I'm not totally happy with the way things are right now (select menus and such), and I've got a pretty cool idea for how picking categories can be really easy in systems with HUGE taxonomies.

If anyone can help me, I'd be really appreciative. Perhaps I just need to access the Category tables on the database? Or maybe I can use most of the code in Category_Menu in my new module/block?

Please, any help would be really appreciated. I think I'm onto a cool idea here that the community will benefit from.

Thanks,
DSC

Basically, here's the deal: I want to create 2 menus from category data - one based on Category_Menu, and another separate from that. How would I go about building this second menu? Using the menu_map table?
