Annej, this makes sense.

For most of my websites, I create a 'user friendly nav'. This often means 'keyword-less' if it means the visitor can navigate with ease.

I then utilize content as the way to interlink where needed. The key emphasis is to interlink WHERE it makes sense, not for the sake of SEO.

Good practice as well is to use the silo structure to link vertically and horizontally within a 'zoomed in' topic theme, and to use a site:domain.com search to locate the most powerful pages on your website and make sure they link in using that same structure to the next level supporting or pillar pages.

You can utilize the breadcrumb as a way to effectively get the kind of link popularity you need to the silo parent.
