This is not possible* with native HTML.

You'll want to either preprocess your website with a templating language (Nunjucks or Handlebars are probably the easiest), or enable server-side technology (PHP includes are probably the simple solution) to build your page navigation on request.

*There are some bad hacks on StackOverflow.
