I did this in 4.6 for a 2-level category tree. I know it will work
for 4.8, but not sure if it's still the best solution.
What I did was use one of the unused fields on the product table. In
4.6 'construct' both subcategory and addl_category were unused. I
added a form for the customer to choose the primary category and I
saved it in a scratch variable. Then I modified the bar_link global
sub so that it used that scratch variable when building the leftside
links. All this still worked fine with the Admin UI.
Honestly, I haven't looked at the code for 'foundation'. I don't know
if bar_link is still used or not. Anyway, YMMV. This is just a
strategy you might want to consider.
