By default I have the following menu's.
Navigation Menu and Primary links
However I want the structure to look like this when the user is logged in.
Home
Features
-- Feature Item 1
-- Feature Item 2
-- Feature Item 3
About
-- About Item 1
-- About Item 2
Links
Contact
/* (if logged in) */
Member
-- Create Content
-- Recent Posts
-- My Account
-- Administer
---- Content Management
---- Site Building
---- Site Configuration
logged in isn't the important thing, the important thing here is dynamically linking a menu or a specific branch of a menu to another.
So basically to achieve this i think it would be best to create a custom menu called say "My Navigation"
to where I can go to the admin and maybe an additional field called "Create a link to another menu or menu branch" to where you can specify what you want to link to.
So basically what i want to know here is if this functionality and/or module is already created. If not I would love to start working on it. I know there's a big thing on not re-inventing the wheel here on drupal.org not to mention i don't want to waist my time if this is already implemented. So let me know if you think its a good module idea or if the functionality is already available.
This is my first post here, yay

Not entirely clear on what you mean, but is this what you are looking for http://drupal.org/project/menu_block

The code concept is sort of the same, and probably a good module to build off but this is not functionally that I'm speaking of.
With menu block it just creates a block that uses a specified menu tree, and gives you options on how deep and at what starting point you want to have the menu.
I think to clear this up a bit and make it sound simple. I want to be able to reference a menu inside of a menu.
Menu block just references a menu.
For example:Dynamic Custom Menu
The Normal Custom Menu
So whenever I add a menu item in "The Normal Custom Menu" it will change the referenced subtree as well.
The purpose in this (for me) is that one might want to link to the "administer" subtree from the "navigation" menu. Within their custom menu.
Ugh hope that makes sense, tried my best :)
So please let me know if anybody can confirm that this functionality does not exist at the moment, so I can begin development.
Ayyy, I see now. No, I
Ayyy, I see now.
No, I personally have not seen a module that does that. Cool idea.
