Is there a property that I can use to get the target of whatever item was clicked in a menu tree? For example, lets say the 1st tier, 2nd item was clicked in the menu tree. I want to send that target to a variable. Honestly, even if there was just a number associated with each individual item I could make it work with that as well. ---

I found it. I created a script and used "event.target" ---
