Adding a page to a menu with query parameters in the URL

Question

I'm trying to add a page generated by CiviCRM to my menu. The pages url is 'civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=6'. I've added the link to the drupal menu manually, and it goes to the page, but that menu item isn't set to active and the active-trail class is not set to it's parent items.

I tried using the full URL and also tried created a module that added a hook_menu function to create a url without query parameters. The hook_menu callback would redirect to the path above.

How can I add that link to my menu, and have the active and active-trail classes set?

Ah yes, this has plagued me for years. I cheat and use "Global Redirect Module" https://www.drupal.org/project/globalredirect

There is a way of making menus do whatever you want, including generating the menu link by php code whenever it is being viewed.
