Ionic dual side menu navigation w/ a twist

I posted this on Stack and thought I’d try here as well.

I’m trying to implement dual side menu navigation using Ionic. But this is slightly different than having dual menus always present. I’m trying to have a main app menu on the left for app navigation, and a right menu to navigate through selected items.

Here is the Plunker

I tried to make it work using two abstract views: 1) with app menu on the left, and 2) with item menu on the right.

The main issue I’m having is making the back navigation work with the side menus. When a user drills into an item, then explores that item using the right menu, they should be able to back all the way out to the item list.

Has anyone used a similar approach? Or can anyone help solve this? Thank you.
