Relative menu items - possible?

Hi,
I'm new to SmugMug, so please excuse me if this is a stupid question or is not clearly stated.
I would like to provide users with a menu via a customisation at the 'site' or 'all galleries' level that provides navigation relative to the currently displayed page (gallery).
I've arranged my site in a hierarchy of folders arranged for different events. For each event I've created a number of virtual galleries using 'smart rules' named '1s', '2s', '3s', '4s', '5s' containing the photo's that I'd originally rated as with 1, 2 ... 5 stars in Lightroom. I plan for my main site navigation menu to take users into the '2s' gallery for event but want to provide a navigation menu from which the viewer can chose to see all of the photo's ('1s') or fewer/better ('[3-5]s') galleries. I could make every gallery a customised gallery with a custom menu containing absolute links to the other galleries for that event, however this is going to be time consuming and error prone. If I could specify the location of a gallery relative to the current location then it should be possible to define the menu once at the site or 'all galleries' level.
Using the standard 'Customize-> Content & Design' I can define custom URL links but if I enter a relative path such as '../1s' it SmugMug turns it into an absolute link 'http://../ls' which of course doesn't work! :scratch
Is what I'm wanting to do possible? Possibly using CSS customisation? If so I'd be very grateful for some tips on how.
Regards
Ian

Still experimenting to find ways to make this look pretty and if possible stop it from displaying links to non existent pages (my HTML is very rusty<img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/ne_nau.gif" border="0" alt="" >).
Thanks for looking.
