Thanks for replying my email.
Since Skin inherits from Linker, it can be done in a custom skin.
Although our site mainly uses the Monobook skin I would like the 'custom links' to be generated regardless the selected skin. We had this implemented through a patch to the Linker class. We needed to re-patch the Mediawiki sources between upgrades and I thought it could be done more cleanly by an extension. So, I think modifying the skin will be almost the same, unless there is a way to include common code to all installed skins through an extension.
Generally if you want a hook added, you can get one dev or another to add it to the code, if it's in a place that people will probably want to use and where there's no other way to reasonably implement the extension without hacks.
Does it will be useful to other people?
Huge thanks again,
