NetBox version

v3.6.5

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

ability to add custom links to config templates .. the custom link 'content-types' selection ( here: https://demo.netbox.dev/extras/custom-links/add/ ) has many netbox object types .. but config-templates is currently not one of them

implementation-wise I think this means adding CustomLinksMixin to ConfigTemplate model amongst other things?

so, proposed functionality here would mean to add "Extras > Config Template" to the custom-link content-types drop down selection

Use case

my use case is I would like to add a custom link to a config template so that I can render the template using 'general purpose use' https://docs.netbox.dev/en/stable/features/configuration-rendering/ .. in my use case I use templates in situations other than per-device situations .. being able to add a custom-link will let me point to my custom script do perform custom rendering of the config template

Database changes
