One way to do this would be to just create the DTML method in the root of
your ZODB. That would probably be more convenient for you to experiment with
anyway. Otherwise, you'll need to make a change to Management.py... here's a
grep:

Management.py:    manage_menu     =HTMLFile('menu', globals())
Management.py:        ('View management screens', ('manage',
'manage_menu',)),

Just do
manage_extramenu=HTMLFile('extramenu', globals())

and add 'manage_extramenu' to the tuple for View management screens to set
up the permissions...
