Add internal documentation to admin dashboard?

I’m not sure what to search for this, so apologies if this has been addressed somewhere.

My project team would like to add a link to our internal documentation about our cataloging guidelines to the admin dashboard – is there a way to do this without writing a custom module? We can easily add a link to a private page on the public-facing site using Sites > Pages, but we’d like a direct link from the admin dashboard.

I feel like this is custom module territory, but it would be relatively easy to do. I’ll be uploading a module called “Banner” in the coming days that would work with minimal modification. It’s a plugin that injects HTML for a maintenance banner message. It already shows up in the admin interface, the key for your usecase would be modifying it to only display on the admin interface, rather than on public routes. A good way to dip your toe into this kind of development, if you haven’t done it before.

Thanks, I’ll keep an eye out for it. I don’t know php but I’ve done plugins/modules for other frameworks before so I’ll probably be able to modify something that’s already part of the way there.
