Put something like this in one of your methods:

[<A HREF="<dtml-var "absolute_url()">/manage_addProduct/DocumentFolderProduct/DraftSubmissionFolderClass_factory" target=_top>Add Draft Submission Folder</A>]

Then edit the 

DraftClass_add (DraftClass constructor) 
DraftClass_addForm (DraftClass constructor input form) 

accordingly.

If you need some inspiration then have a look the the ZDP-Tools,
from which the example is taken.:
