Hide segment in URL but give code access to hidden segment

I'm using Structure and have a "Supernav" page with multiple children that will make up the supernav for the site. I thought this would be a nice way to have all pages on the site accessible to the client via one location: the Structure UI.

enter image description here

If you visit any of the child pages in the "supernav" group the URL comes out like this:

http://website.com/supernav/prospective-students

I'd love to be able to remove the supernav segment of those URLs so that it ends up being:

http://website.com/prospective-students

I don't even want the supernav segment to appear in the status bar when you hover over these links on the page. Is this possible? With CodeIgniter this comes down to a simple routing rule, but I don't know if that's an option with EE.

Appreciate any help I can get!

Solution

This may be a bit after the fact, but have you considered using NavEE for this sort of situation and replacing Structure wholesale? You can build multiple navigation content, and don't have to "hide" the content. I love Structure, but you would have to use .htaccess in order to get the results you're wanting, as well as some routing stash/embeds.
