The typical example would be the admindocs module, instead of hardcoding
it in the admin template, we could have something like
{{{
#!python
admin.register_link(title=_('Documentation'), url=reverse('...')
location='header_right', staff_only=True))
}}}
And a specific code in the template like :
{{{
{% for link in admin.links.header_right %}
<a href="{{ link.url }}">{{ link.title }}</a>
{% endfor %}
}}}
We could also add other locations (Like a new pane in the admin frontpage,
etc.)
So any application could easily add its own links.
Currently, as far I a know, the only way to do this is to override the
admin templates.

I'm open to exploring this. Before writing a lot of code, it would be a
good idea to submit the proposal to the DevelopersMailingList to get
feedback from others and nail down the design. See #18665 for some related
ideas.
