Create new (disabled) child menu items from views 2

So I have my site up and running but I am running into a bit of an issue getting my active-trail to stay as I browse to sub-sections of my site.

IE. Active trail works on /photography, but goes away when the user browses to /photography/gallery1

I've found a work around for this by simply adding gallery1 as a child of photography in the primary links menu and then disabling it. This makes the active trail stick, even when I browse gallery1.

The galleries are created via views 2 pages dynamically, so obviously its a pain in the neck for me to go in and create menu items after the fact for each views generated page. Because the view is filtered via the argument, the path defined in the view is photography/%, so I can't create a menu item at all from that view, let alone a child argument.

Does anyone know of a work around for this? I basically either need a way to extend the .active-trail class to additional pages not defined in the menu settings as a child of the main page, or I need a way to create child menu items automatically and disable them automatically from my view.

Thanks!
