I'm pretty good with the essential requirements to build a complex megamenu of page links and sub-links with XSLT, however I am wondering if there is a way to add a "feature block" to the megamenu.

Simply, all top level sections of the website would have a megamenu expand with the sub-section page links, and then on the right side there would be a feature block of content pertaining to a specific sub page in that section. It would contain a picture, title text and a piece of excerpt text with a link to that specific sub-page in that section.

I don't want to embed that raw HTML into the XSLT template for each of these, but I would like my XSLT to dynamically grab that top level section's feature content: picture, title text, excerpt text and link (stored somewhere, as of yet I'm not sure where is best).

From a high-level, how might I go about doing this with the template tags/ tokens ( http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Wiki/Page/DDRMenu-XSLT-templates.aspx )

what you describe getting content from external sources as of know there is no good xsl solution for this ( although I have asked Markt about being able to call an external xml )

You could try with razor since you have more options there
