I posted it here per our conversation on Google Grou[s here:
http://groups.google.com/group/phpdevshell/browse_thread/thread/f7c46fecafb7e863

Go to System Management > Menu Admin > Manage Menus

Then pick any menu item and click on EDIT at the far right.

Now scroll all the way to bottom and the last field is Custom Template Script Layout.

I want to know if it's possible to retrieve the value in that field.

THanks

I paste my answer here:

Here's the catch: you can access everything by browsing the system
structures.

For example:

$nav = $this->navigation;
$here = $nav->currentMenuID();
$my_menu = $nav->navigation[$here];
$layout = $my_menu['layout'];

not really handy. I asked you to add a question on LP because I feel
there should be an API to avoid you to mess up with the system data.

Can you help with this problem?
