Bitrix. How to create a navigation menu for a catalog filter from a custom infoblock?

Question

PHP

Greetings!
We have a catalog page with a navigation menu from the catalog infoblock and a filter. Of course, the menu and filter belong to the smartfilter component.
There is a need to customize only the navigation menu of the filter. Increase the nesting and the structure should change in the admin panel without rebuilding the directory.
I myself perfectly understand that the dynamic menu is good. But a customer is a customer.
How can I link only the smartfilter navigation menu with a custom infoblock?
What are some ideas? Who can faced similar?

There is a need to customize only the navigation menu of the filter. Increase the nesting and the structure should change in the admin panel without rebuilding the directory.

Duck, how then will the system know that it needs to display something otherwise without rebuilding the directory?

Smart Filter outputs (unexpectedly) a filter (shape). The directory tree should display catalog.section, you should edit it rather than a filter.
