HeaderNavigation Multi level navigation

[reinisg]

Hello,
I have few questions about UI-shell Header component.

1. Is it possible to use multi menu in HeaderNavigation, code example is below. There is a Sub Link 4 and it has childrens, now if I click menu closes and not opens child menu. Is there any property or there is no chance to do it?
   `
   Link 1

          <HeaderMenuItem href="#">Link 2</HeaderMenuItem>
   
          <HeaderMenuItem href="#">Link 3</HeaderMenuItem>
   
          <HeaderMenu aria-label="Link 4" menuLinkName="Link 4">
            <HeaderMenuItem href="#one">Sub-link 1</HeaderMenuItem>
   
            <HeaderMenuItem href="#two">Sub-link 2</HeaderMenuItem>
   
            <HeaderMenuItem href="#three">Sub-link 3</HeaderMenuItem>
            <HeaderMenu aria-label="Link 4" menuLinkName="Sub-Link 4">
              <HeaderMenuItem href="#">Sub-Sub-link 1</HeaderMenuItem>
   
              <HeaderMenuItem href="#">Sub-Sub-link 2</HeaderMenuItem>
   
              <HeaderMenuItem href="#">Sub-Sub-link 3</HeaderMenuItem>
            </HeaderMenu>
          </HeaderMenu>
        </HeaderNavigation>`
   

2. And also is there possible to set HeaderMenu and SideNavMenu link? Or is it works only as submenu opener?

Hey @reinisg, unfortunately we don't support nested menus at this time.
As for your second question, I'm not entirely sure I follow what you're asking. Could you show some examples or explain more?

Thanks for the answer.
About second question, I mean if there any chance to set a link for HeaderMenu or SideNavMenu component.
Code example (something like this): HeaderMenu can be a property href ?

    <HeaderMenu aria-label="Link 4" menuLinkName="Link 4" href="#SOME_LINK_HERE">
         <HeaderMenuItem href="#one">Sub-link 1</HeaderMenuItem>
    </HeaderMenu>

Sorry for the late response. I understand now. Unfortunately, those components don't function as links, just as menu togglers. If you think this could be a useful feature or have seen this as a UX pattern in other menus, I would encourage you to open a feature-request issue. 🙂
