I want each first‑level MenuTree item to navigate to a specific target URL (e.g., `/URL`). However, I only have it working for the first MenuTree item, Overview. The second MenuTree item, Building 200, has seven child items, such as HVAC System and Water System. I want clicking Building 200 to navigate to the Building 200 floor‑plan Perspective view I built, but this doesn’t work when Building 200 has child items. What would be a possible solution to this problem?
