Problem/Motivation

We would like to be able to add a button to a preview link form that will automatically add all the entities given certain conditions.

For example, the LocalGov Drupal Guides module allows you to create a guide consisting of a guide overview and then a number of guide pages. We would like to be able to automatically add all the guide pages to the preview link entity saving content editors time.

Proposed resolution

Add a plugin definition and manager that allows modules to create plugins that defines the entities it applies to, the title of the button, and a method to collect the entities when submitted.

If the button applies to a given entity then a button is added to the entity's preview link form. Clicking on this button automatically populates the preview link entities using the logic defined in the plugin.
