how would one override back behavior for specific navigation destination? For example, if I have destination A,B,C,D, I would like for D to always pop back to A, given that you can navigate to D from A,B,C.

I guess I should do it like this

NavHost(...) {
    composable(...) {
        BackHandler { /* navigate to A */}
        D()
    }
}

No, that won't do what you want, particularly when you add animations (i.e., with Accompanist Navigation Animation) as navigate will go in a forward direction rather than run the pop animations. You should add popUpTo("a") { inclusive = true } to each time you navigate to D - then the back stack will already be correct when you hit the system back button
