I found this: https://ryanashcraft.me/swiftui-programmatic-navigation/

It does work, and it may lay the foundation for a state machine to control what is showing, but it is not a simple as it was before.

import Combine
import SwiftUI

struct DetailView: View {
    var onDismiss: () -> Void

    var body: some View {
        Button(
            "Here are details. Tap to go back.",
            action: self.onDismiss
        )
    }
}

struct RootView: View {
    var link: NavigationDestinationLink
    var publisher: AnyPublisher

    init() {
        let publisher = PassthroughSubject()
        self.link = NavigationDestinationLink(
            DetailView(onDismiss: { publisher.send() }),
            isDetail: false
        )
        self.publisher = publisher.eraseToAnyPublisher()
    }

    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Button("I am root. Tap for more details.", action: {
                self.link.presented?.value = true
            })
        }
            .onReceive(publisher, perform: { _ in
                self.link.presented?.value = false
            })
    }
}

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            RootView()
        }
    }
}

If you want to hide the button then you can replace the DetailView with this:

struct LocalDetailView: View {
    var onDismiss: () -> Void

    var body: some View {
        Button(
            "Here are details. Tap to go back.",
            action: self.onDismiss
        )
            .navigationBarItems(leading: Text(""))
    }
}
