Making a dropdown list with links to monthly archives is not such a problem, for instance with the example on http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_archives or the hack on http://www.qwghlm.co.uk/blog/?p=740.
What I would like to create is a similar dropdown list, but one which displays links to the monthly archives with post in only a distinct (current) category.
I don't think that this can be achieved by a simple parameter. Does anyone know a method to achieve this?

What you describe at the start is similar to:

(among other discussion including a recent thread)
If what you want to do is a composition of months and categories (i.e. show me all posts from category X in month Y), you might need to do some coding. There is no magic URL that will do it as far as I know. If you have just one such category, all you need to do is add a simply condition that narrows down the matches to ones that belong to a particular category number.
Start with the function that displays all posts for a given month, add the category-type condition and make that a new function. Then, take the examples above and have them link to your new function.

How might that be done?
