Apply Wayfinder's "Current" Class to Non-Parent Menu Item When Non-Child Resource Viewed?

I'm using Articles for a blog, and have separate (non-Articles) resources for generating archive and tag lists.

You cannot nest resources as children beneath an Article container (why????), but I need to apply Wayfinder's "current" class to the Blog (Articles) nav label when the non-children archive or tags resources are viewed.

I see Wayfinder has a hereID parameter, but it seems related to the hereTpl, which won't help in this case.

Any ideas?

Articles is designed to act as a container for article posts, so it won't show its children in the Tree and its children are set to not show in the Tree. Its restrictive design implementation is why I stopped dealing with it years ago.

The only thing that I can think of is to use a snippet or a TV that returns something you can use in your Wayfinder tpl.
