title: Navigate to particular sidebar menu item in ShinyDashboard?
body: <p>(cross post from shiny google groups, <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/shiny-discuss/CvoABQQoZeE" rel="nofollow">https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/shiny-discuss/CvoABQQoZeE</a>)</p>
  
  <p>How can one navigate to a particular sidebar menu item in ShinyDashboard?</p>
  
  <pre><code>sidebarMenu(
      menuItem("Menu Item 1")
      menuItem("Menu Item 2")
  )
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>i.e. how can I put a button on the "Menu Item 1" page that will link to "Menu Item 2"?</p>
  
  <p>To navigate between tabs I am using the updateTabsetPanel function:</p>
  
  <pre><code>observeEvent(input$go,{
  updateTabsetPanel(session, "tabset1", selected = "Step 2")
  })
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I believe I should be able to use a similar function to navigate to a sidebar menu, but I am not sure what that is.</p>
  
  <p>Any pointers greatly appreciated</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
