I was thinking about this this morning.

I reckon some kind of rule based system like a Mail filter or search 
filter that Apple uses in it's apps. Add an extra row to the rule 
depending on where you want it displayed.

eg.

Display [menu] called [menuname]

if [module] called [pagemaster]

if [page] called [about page]


You just add extra rules by hitting +/- buttons. The items in [..] are 
selected from a list and the second parameter is context sensitive 
depending on what is selected. You may also want boolean rules in there 
such as 'if not' or 'contains' instead of 'called'
