[support] Showing menu items when user doesn't have permission to access node

[Steven Scotten]

What I'd like to do (what my client wants) is to have menu items for  
nodes with permissions restrictions to still be available. That way,  
the user gets a link to whatever supersecret page it is and gets  
challenged to log in if they are anonymous.

Is this do-able? A search on drupal.org found lots of posts about  
making links disappear even when the node should be visible, but not  
the other way around.

Obviously this would have to be done conditionally so as not to show  
all the admin links, so that makes things more complicated.

My only thought at this point is to make a second menu item for each  
menu item that currently requires authentication, and somehow (using  
Menu Per Role perhaps?) make that menu item visible only to the  
anonymous user.

Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks,


Steve
