Description
Describe the bug
When a child NvaigationViewItem is selected (aka one located in NavigationViewItem.MenuItems), the NavigationControl will set the parent NavigationViewItem as the selected item.
As a result, I can no longer retrieve a via MenuItem id or tag or anything to be able to tell why the page of the child item is being shown, resulting in being unable to initialize the page in any meaningful way.
To Reproduce
Create a NavigationCotnrol with menu items that contain a child menu item.
Select the child menu item from the Navigation menu directly.
SelectedItem will become the parent NavigationViewItem.
Expected behavior
SelectedItem should be the selected Child NavigationViewItem

Research direction

Reproduce the behavior with a NavigationControl containing nested NavigationViewItems, then trace the navigation selection entry point and existing selection handling. Done means SelectedItem references the selected child NavigationViewItem when it is chosen directly from the menu.
