This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I have created a WordPress Archive for a custom post type. The archive displays different results with a Query Filter based on a URL parameter. I would like to create multiple links in my WP Menu that direct the visitor to the archive URL with different URL parameters automatically applied.
Solution: Go to wp-admin > Appearance > Menus to edit the menu you want to adjust. Use the Custom Links feature to add custom links to the archive, with the desired URL parameters applied in the link URL field.

Hi, if I understand correctly you would like to add some custom links to your WordPress menu so the User can visit archives with specific filters predefined. Is that correct?
In the Archive's Query Filters panel, you should be able to set up a custom field filter or a custom taxonomy filter based on a URL parameter (see the attachments). I'm not clear from your details whether the Event type is defined in a custom field or in a custom taxonomy, but either case is filterable by URL parameter. That will display different results based on the link URL, something like these links:
https://yoursite.com/your-event-archive-url/?wpvchapternum=123
https://yoursite.com/your-event-archive-url/?wpvchapternum=234
https://yoursite.com/your-event-archive-url/?wpvchapternum=345
...
and so on. Different URL parameter values will produce different results in the archive when your Query Filter is set up to respond to a URL parameter. The parameter name 'wpvchapternum' here is arbitrary, and you must define one for each filter in the filter configurations. You can create any number of custom HTML menu items with links to these URLs with parameters predefined, as shown in the attachments here. Will this work for your needs, or am I misunderstanding what you want to accomplish?
