Is it possible to return the Page ID of menu items?
I specifically looking to get the IDs that appear in a rollover submenu.

Thanks @toscho! (I know ur not real...) Let me be more descriptive... I'm looking to get the IDs from submenu items to use in the Order & Orderby Parameters of a WP_Query. The reasoning is a bit complex but was wonderding if it is possible– matthewellOct 5, 2012 at 18:16

Hook int 'wp_nav_menu_objects'. You get a list (an array) of all found menu items as an array. Each item is an object, and each one has a property named ID. That's the ID of the original object if it was a post object.
In your filter callback just iterate over these items, collect the IDs and use them later in your custom query.
- See How to var_dump nav menu items from anywhere? for a plugin to collect these items for later usage.
- In Dynamically link to the latest post I showed a case where the ID is empty. Prepare for that in your code. :)

Thanks @toscho. I ended up doing something a bit differently, but it still needs work. pastebin.com/TDQiQnAk Oct 5, 2012 at 21:27
