Autonav - need a item that doesnt act as a page link

you could try something like this in a template

if ($ni->level == "1" && $ni->hasSubmenu) {

     echo '<li class="' . $ni->classes . ' '.$currentClicked.'">';
     echo  h($ni->name) ;

    } else if  {

     echo '<li>';
     echo '<a href="' . $ni->url . '" target="' . $ni->target . '" class="' . $ni->classes . '">' . h($ni->name) . '</a>';
    
}
