Variable Waypoints

Question

Hi there,is there any way to use variable waypoints? What I mean by this, is that when I have variable contacts (with an id property) in a database, that I can 'navigate' to that content by dispatching navigation events like 'content.contact.245'. All that I would need for this technically, is a waypoint that implements ISelectedIndex. This way, calling something like 'content.contact.245.phone' would use the dynamic waypoint on 'content.contact'.Is this possible? I would love to use Cairngorm 3 navigation for my project, since it works so nicely in conjunction with SWFAddress, but if this is not possible within the next 3 months, I might have to stick to Tide instead, which allows this already: http://www.grails.org/plugin/gdsflex ( see the part about [Path("show/{id}")])...Also, if anybody is interested in seeing deep linking integrating with cairngorm 3 navigation, I need to know whom to send the code or get some svn access to the samples folder.Cheers,John

After looking at the source code, I'm convinced that I can't extend the framework for this functionality without changing the core. To the very basics, I will need to replace the 'hasDestination' method with some pattern matching.

If I get it done, will it be taken over in the trunk? If not, I'll try another workaround that doesn't disconnect me from future releases.
