Could we have a global onPageStartup event applying for all pages, or perhaps a session navigatedToPage event? I’m looking for an event that is sent in both of these cases:

- User clicks on menu link
- User navigates to a page via external URL link, or directly modifying the URL address bar in his browser.

The onPageStartup of the session only fires once, when the Perspective app is loaded :s

I would love this so that I could close all active popups whenever the user navigates to a different page.

I think the closest you can get is to use `onStartup` events on the views that can be primary in your pages. You would have to ensure you never navigated to a view that didn't have this configuration.
