In **Top Pages** , when used with Folder (with **Links** inside), it seems that the active item style does not work when the **Link** points directly to the page I am viewing.

It would also be useful in the **Menu** component to be able to choose whether to have menu items (build from the pages) or to have a **dropzone** (similar to how you did in _Type: Logo_), where perhaps a **Top Pages** component could be inserted to set a custom menu with **Folder** and **Links**.

This is because the Link is just that — a link to a URL. [Elements](https://elementsapp.io/) doesn’t know that the Link is a link to a specific page in your project, and therefor doesn’t mark it as “active”.

I can see the use case though, so I’ll add it to my list of things to investigate further and see if we can come up with a solution 🙂
