Display navigation menu based on metafield

Hi There

I’m currently developing a theme where we’d like to include a custom menu in several collections.

I realise we can probably do this by creating a new template in the theme editor, but I’d like to make it as simple for the client using a metafield.

There doens’t appear to be an option to reference a menu directly with a metafield, so have tried creating a text metafield for the menu handle.

How would I reference this in the for loop? The default menu for loop is;

{% for link in section.settings.navigation.links %}

And I’ve tried;

{% for link in collection.metafields.artist.navigation.links %}

But I’m getting nothing, however, {{ collection.metafields.artist.navigation }} does display the handle put in.

Appreciate this might be a bit of a niche request, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bit more googling and testing and this solution worked;

{% for link in linklists[collection.metafields.artist.navigation].links %}
