The DNN menu points to individual modules. What I would do is have another menu that points to the individual views once they have navigated to the module.Or you can put a menu in a HTML module and have that module shown at the top of every page that allows users to select a link that will take them directly to the view.

Using the HTML module, or a set of links within your own loading control would work, but if you're looking for items in the menu itself I believe you're going to have to go with my first suggestion.

Yes this is the best way to go. It will also work fine with the MultiView control.

Thanks for the help guys, I agree i think i will utilise multiview in combination with your first idea Chris.

You suggested my web control should assess the querystring, which would be different for each 'page' link on the menu, and then i can set the View on the multiview control to suit. however i'm still unsure about how to work with this querystring - As best i understand, I "create a new page" and set its title etc. Should i simply assess the URL and use the Title as my identifier, or is there a way to inject parameters into new pages when i create them through DNN admin?
