I’m re-designing the community forum of a volunteer project. We currently have public discussion categories and a few workgroups that are also set up as categories, but access is limited to certain groups. So right now these group-restricted categories are entirely hidden if you’re not a member of their group. But we want to give them more visibility to attract more participants.

To support that, I sketched a design that presents the public categories as “Spaces” and the restricted ones as “Groups”. I want to set up this distinction, because these two types work in two distinct ways, not only with regards to access but also how they are led and moderated.

At the bottom of the sketch is the category list and there I can easily set up this separation with the [Category Groups component](https://meta.discourse.org/t/category-groups-component/200874).

But I’d also like to offer two distinct access routes right on the Navigation bar:

So both “Spaces” and “Groups” would open a category drop-down list, only with different items. And I’m still wondering if there’s a way to achieve this without messing around tooo much. @Johani I think you shared an elegant approach how to add a custom select-kit recently? Not sure if that would work here, but I already can’t find it anymore.

Thanks for suggestions everyone 🙂
