If a bottom tab acts as a top level destination for a series of different screens, would this be the correct use-case for a nested graph? If so, how is it possible to determine if the current route belongs to this nested graph? The docs show an example determining if the bottom tab icon is selected by checking if `currentRoute == screen.route`, but what if we’re on a nested route beneath this? <https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/navigation#bottom-nav>

Well, if you want to determine what nested graph something is in, you'd look at `navBackStackEntry.destination.parent` - that's the parent NavGraph. I don't think we fill out the route in that as of yet, but the plan is for `route` to become a field on `NavDestination` itself (just like `id` is right now), which would make this quite a bit easier

Cool thanks, having `route` available on `NavDestination` would be really helpful. As a workaround for now I’ve just added a property `children` to my `Screen` sealed class which contains a list of child routes. Then to determine if a bottom nav item is selected I just check if `currentRoute` exists in `children`
