Frequent problem with menus and CSS

I have a frequent problem with no aparent solution with Drupal. I created o content type that holds a specific menu, for exemple news from my team and news from other teams. I have a global menu with news, about us and contact.

When i click in "news" Drupal opens a CSS class named .active in "news", this permits me to change look and feel using CSS. This is my primary links. But when i click in news from other teams in secondary links, the .active is no longer in "news" primary link.

This happens because Drupal doesn´t support secondary links to be linked with primary links. I thought that i can solve this problem if i had a module that do this link or at least a module that holds .active through do tipo de conteúdo listado.

Anyone can solve this problem? Any solutions?
I know this module: http://drupal.org/project/menutrails, but actually im using Drupal 6.2.
