I have a bunch of buttons in our Ribbon tabs - most are just to insert Detail Components & Annotations Symbols using PostRequestForElementTypePlacement, and some are links to web pages (for HOWTOs and documentation).

I assume there are some technical issues with potential "bad behavior" that could happen, but maybe allowing some restricted/simple stuff (like I mention above) would be easier?
