Impossible to have nested routes and layouts that do not unmount?

[nolandg]

I've read all of the below resources and more and from I can tell, Gatsby is incapable of handling nested layouts that do not unmount. You can make a single global layout that doesn't unmount by using the wrapRootElement method. You can make many nested layouts normally like any React structure. But you cannot have a nested layout component that doesn't unmount on route change. Is that correct?

I have a main left bar menu and then some sub section menus in the main content area. User navigates from /app/parent-menu-1/child-menu-1 to /app/parent-menu-1/child-menu-2. It is now impossible to do that transition without unmounting child menu layout. Correct?

Reach cannot do React Router nested routes? Any other options for animations between nested URLs?
