I don't have any specific examples, but the top "tab" menu is function 
call in the decorator header file using a menu definition variable also 
in the header. You can customize menu definitions in psml and 
folder.metadata files to define specifically what pages/links/folders or 
how far back up or down a page hierarchy resources are accessible in a 
named menu.

The actual html structure of the menu is controlled in the 
decorator-macros, found in the specific layout decorator you're using.

So you can manipulate these to get the effect you want.

I'll try to work up and example in the next day or two.
