Creating a menu item for linking to a FLEXIcontent item assigned to multiple categories

When creating a Joomla menu item that links to a FLEXIcontent item,
a "current" category id is included in the URL via the URL variable:
&cid=nnn

-- Reason is because a FLEXIcontent item maybe assigned to multiple categories

-- Usage of current category is:

1. Inheriting various parameters e.g. "Show comments"
2. Deciding if item is accessible, e.g. if current category is not published or current category has different access level then item will not be accessible
3. Current category alias or name may appear in SEF URL and/or in Pathway (via the breadcrumbs module)

-- To create the menu item:

• click to select FLEXIcontent single item as Menu Item Type
• then filter by one of item's categories e.g. catA
• then click on the item's title to select the desired item

this way the link will contain catA as current category
