NavigationLink in ContextMenu no longer working in iOS14 xcode12 beta3? - swiftui

Question

Wondering if anyone else has this issue, and if a workaround has been found. This works fine in iOS 13, but seems broken in iOS 14.
I am just trying to fire off a NavigationLink to another View, from a .contextMenu.
My code is as below.
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
VStack {
HStack {
Text("I am a text in a HStack ")
}
HStack {
NavigationLink(destination: TestView()) {
VStack {
Image(systemName:"gauge")
.font(.system(size: 31))
}
}
}
}
.contextMenu {
NavigationLink(destination: TestView()) {
Text("Navigate to TestView")
Image(systemName: "pencil")
}
}
}
}
}
The Destination TestView() is just a boilerplate "Hello World" view.
If I click not the Icon associated in the Stack, this triggers the navigation perfectly. But the same link in the context menu does not.
When I select it in the contextmenu, nothing happens. I.e I can select the menu item, but all it does is close the context menu and I stay on the same view.
Anyone else found this? solved it ?
Thanks

Here is a demo of possible approach. Tested with Xcode 12b3 / iOS 14 (also valid for SwiftUI 1.0)
struct ContentView: View {
#State private var showLink = false
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
VStack {
HStack {
Text("I am a text in a HStack ")
}
HStack {
NavigationLink(destination: Text("TestView")) {
VStack {
Image(systemName:"gauge")
.font(.system(size: 31))
}
}
}
}
.background(NavigationLink("", destination: Text("TestView"), isActive: $showLink))
.contextMenu {
Button(action: { self.showLink = true }) {
HStack {
Text("Navigate to TestView")
Image(systemName: "pencil")
}
}
}
}
}
}
