Lazy Loaded Tree

Hello,
Can anyone possibly help me understand how to select a node ’n’ levels deep on a dynamically loaded tree, based on a selection in a data table? The tree only loads the first tier initially, so at the time of the data table selection the node does not actually “exist" in the tree; but the “path” (in the tree) to that node is known. I was hoping to follow the “path” and use loadBranch() to pull in the data until the desired node is within the tree; select it and make the node visible. I’ve been unable to get this to work. Is there a better way?

Is anyone able to give me some advice? Thanks in advance for any guidance.
