Adding object tools requires template overrides or subclassing of ModelAdmin. It should be possible to add object tools in the same way that admin actions can be defined.

I like the idea - I definitely think this is something the admin could do with making easier to customise (having hacked it a few times...)

It needs tests, as it currently has none. It'll probably need quite a lot - all of the individual functions will need testing. Does the test suite still work with the current changes? Docs wise it has some, but they if merged it would need to be added to the release notes as well.

Seems to me the view on site link should also be converted to be one of these new tool objects.
