There is no add-on Product I know of which offers the
behavior you describe. 
(Hard though that may be to believe.)  I've thought about
this problem idly,
a bit, but lack the skill and time to take it all the way to
the hoop. 

The approach to implementing it would, I suspect, be to
write a wholesale
replacement for the navigation portlet that implements a
custom navigation
strategy, which would return the entire structure of your
site or section. 
You'd then have to write the appropriate bits of HTML +
javascript (or, more
likely, borrow some prior art!) to hide/reveal sections of
the tree.

Martin Aspeli's article on custom navigation sections at
http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/custom-navigation will very likely be
helpful should you choose to go this route.

best,
jon

This looks as it it may be of some use in building
expandable nav trees.
It hasn't been touched in 2 years, but it does make use of
zope3.

Wow.  Talk about "easter eggs" buried in the
Collective!  

Thanks for finding that, Emyr! 

Michael, please do report back if it works for you!
