Has 2025/Mx 10.24 provided a simple way to highlight the active page on navigation lists when opening a page?

I still find it surprising there is no way to highlight the active page in a navigation list when opening a page. Though I might be outdated in regards to Mx10.24 capabilities. 2026 is almost knocking on the door, have we already found a solution for this? Sure, if I'm putting my navigation list in a snippet, put it on multiple pages and click one of those navigation list items, that specific item gets highlighted. However, if I navigate from outside any of those navigation list-pages, to one of them, that specific page doesn't get highlighted. Sure, I can use Javascript or some pagehelper entity, but it's quite cumbersome, while it could be so much simpler. We now also have variables in snippets, but are unable to pass variables between pages and snippets. Otherwise I could simply create a variable on my page "ActivePage(INT) = 1)" and have a variable in the snippet ("ActivePage(INT)") and add some conditional logic (If $ActivePage = 1 then 'Active' ). Sadly, passing variables between pages and snippets is not possible. Basically, if I navigate from my homepage to my settings page and I have a sidebar containing a navigation list with all settings-pages, I simply want the first item to be highlighted already. How do you work around this issue?
