Master-Detail Menu

Looking for some tips with menus. I have a menu running across the top of the page which takes users to the key search pages and reports.
I have created a client record system. The master table is the clients details and there are numerous detail tables displaying different data (eg: appointment records, test results). Currently I am using a dashboard to display data from all the linked tables.
I wonder if it is possible to have a secondary (vertical) menu, so that when I open the master table entry the secondary menu only opens the detail tables linked to the master table?
I'm not sure if this is possible. I've had a try but not been successful...
On the master table I have used a button with a redirect code to .../dashboard.php?q=(client_SystemID~equals~XXX), where XXX is the recordID. Can something similar be done with the menus?
Thanks for any info you have.
