Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method for providing navigation assistance within a software application, comprising processing logic used for: determining a user's current location within the software application; processing state information associated with the user's current location and an application link schema to generate an application context, the application context being used to generate possible destination locations within the software application; and displaying the possible destination locations to the user within a user interface based upon the state information and the application link schema, the displaying comprising presenting all possible destination locations within a look ahead navigation assistance window, the look ahead navigation assistance window presenting all possible destination locations contextually, the presenting all possible destination locations contextually includes providing a representation of interrelated conditions in which all possible destination locations exist, the representation of interrelated conditions comprising a branching representation of all possible destination locations; receiving user input data within the user interface, the user input data comprising destination location selection data; processing the destination location selection data to traverse to the selected destination location; and displaying data associated with the destination location within the user interface; and wherein the data associated with the destination location comprises an executable process; user input data is received within the user interface, the user input data comprising process selection data used to initiate execution of the executable process; and, when the executable process is initiated, results are displayed to the user without necessitating traversal to the associated destination location.
