Muse accordion menu within folio article(s)

Question

I’m working on an accordion menu created in Adobe Muse that is then used in a DPS folio created in InDesign.
The accordion menu resides on the Master Pages of the articles/documents, 6 articles total.
When the label is tapped, the accordion menu expands open >
The label is also a link that takes the reader to a page within the folio while expanding (using the navto://documentname#page formatting) >
Inside the content area of each label are subtopics that also navigate to different pages within the folio (also using the navto://documentname#page formatting).
My desire is that when a label is tapped and expands, the reader can then click on each subtopic and go to that page without the accordion menu collapsing as it goes to the page.
I’m finding that 99.9% of the time, the menu is collapsing. Other times I get the exact performance I desire.
I’m Ok with the menu collapsing as each label is tapped, but not the subtopics.
I’ve played around with setting the accordion properties by unchecking “Collapse All” and unchecking “Edit Together”, but can’t seem to edit these sections or the text boxes individually. It either sets ALL items in the accordion menu to Collapse All or not. No mixing of the two settings.
Within InDesign, it actually seems as though this menu, although on the Master Page, is functioning individually on each document page.
Is there a way to get the desired functionality, outlined above, with the accordion menu widget?
TIA,
Hunter

The only way you'd be able to keep the menu from being collapsed when you come back to the page is to write code in JavaScript to remember the state in localStorage and then read it back when the menu is re-opened. When your reader navigates to another article (and sometimes even page in the same article) in the folio via the menu we will clear the previous article from memory, and the state will be lost.
