Tweaks in System Menu adds shortcut buttons to panel's system menu. By default, Gnome Tweaks (a.k.a. Tweak UI), Extensions, and Extension Manager are added, but the list of applications to display can be changed in the preferences.

The buttons can be positioned anywhere in the system menu.

Tweaks in System Menu comes with a preference panel which can be found from the Extensions or Extension Manager applications or the Gnome Shell Extensions page.
