Insert non-Refinery link into Refinery navigation menu

Question

Refinery generates its navigation menu in the _menu and _menu_branch helpers. I want to keep the provided logic since it allows a user to create a new page. However, let's say I have a model Product and I want to insert a link to the show action of Product in the navigation menu. What's the proper Refinery way to do that?

Answer 1

I found the easiest way to do it is create the page in the pages dashboard, and in advanced setting you just fill the redirect to /products/awesome or whatever the product slug or id is.
