initiostar's solution solves the link to other pages problem. However, it still falls foul of having to cobble together a bodge to allow the menu to have an animated reveal. Xara only allows the instant 'Boom-I'm-HEEAAARRR' approach if the object is sticky.

Choosing a transition in the Pop-Up Layer Settings is ignored by Xara. Choose a Reveal Animation in Web Animation, and Xara will tell you it can't do that.

Both Acorn's and initiostar's solutions have the individual objects in their menu set to a Reveal Animation. The only way I know how to do that is the cut/paste, add reveal, cut/paste bodge...is there an alternative?
