Active elements

[alec-c4]

Hey!
I'd like to ask you about work with active elements. I see no ability to highlight an active link, but of course I can create a custom CSS class active which I will use to highlight a link. But there is another problem - I see no standard ability to expand a multilevel sidebar menu which contains an active link. Of course, I can create a JavaScript, which will check links with active class and do click on container, but it looks as a ghhmmmm ... I will name it "workaround" to avoid strong language :)))

Any idea how to implement it?
