Custom query in news_menu, is it possible?

[rica-carv]

For instance, i want to display only the last single new published in each categoy, how can i do that with the {MENU: path=news/news_grid&limit=1&category=1&source=latest&featured=1&layout=news-grid-0} like shortcode? Can it be donne? Or do i have to use a custom query to the database?

Currently i can manage that making multiple calls to the news menu shortcode:

{MENU: path=news/news_grid&limit=1&category=1&source=latest&featured=1&layout=news-grid-0}
{MENU: path=news/news_grid&limit=1&category=4&source=latest&featured=1&layout=news-grid-0}
{MENU: path=news/news_grid&limit=1&category=6&source=latest&featured=1&layout=news-grid-0}`

but a single call to the shortcode would be a lot better, if it's possible...
Imageine i have 15 or 20 categories, i'll have to make 15 or 20 calls to the news menu shortcode....
