How can I add a Custom Experience Button for a Link List Item (section)

Question

I have cloned a link list rendering. Whilst I can attach a custom experience button for the experience editing to my cloned rendering - it's actually the item properties that I need to facilitate editing of. Is there a way to attach a custom experience button to here?

Or do I need to somehow specify the fields for editing differently against the actual custom button?

My template looks like this:

Some properties are used as attributes and hence not displayed in a way the editor could edit them from experience editor. eg: Content Position and Icon colour which are droplinks.

ie. my rendering data source is the link list with icons, which has child link items.

Buttons which you see in the Link edit frame are defined in the Core database. Take a look here:

Now investigate Link List.cshtml and take a look at the edit frame which is defined there:

@using (Html.Sxa().BeginEditFrame(item.ID.ToString(), "Link", Model.IsControlEditable))
{
    foreach (BaseVariantField variantField in Model.VariantFields)
    {
        @Html.RenderingVariants().RenderVariant(variantField, item, Model.RenderingWebEditingParams, Model)
    }
}

The second parameter of the BegineEditFrame() method defines a set of buttons (it is a name of the item I've shown in the first picture) which will be displayed in the edit frame.
