WCM - How to display content item elements from a Menu Component pointing elsewhere?

In IBM's Web Content Manager I have a page in the path: 

TopArea > MainContent > SiteArea > content

which uses a Menu Component to pull items from a slightly different path, such as 

TopArea > OtherContent > OtherSiteArea > othercontent

So, in the Menu Component, when I use [Property], [Placeholder], or [Element] tags, it pulls the data from othercontent. However, I need to use some kind of tag to pull data from the page that the menu component is being displayed on content.

Anyone know how to do this?

Here is a more specific example:

When using [Property context="autofill" type="content" field="name"] it displays 3ee5fc.

What kind of tag could I use (or what could I do) so that it would display Home Page instead?

Please note that there are multiple content items that are using this menu component, so I can't hard code (select) the content item, I need a tag that will find it based on what item is calling the menu component.

You need to change the context attribute. "autofill" will display from the items the menu has selected, where "current" will display the field from the item the menu is placed in.
