Please check also BRANDING.adoc from the engine source tree [1].
You should be able to add your own directory wherever you want and link
to it from /etc/ovirt-engine/branding with a higher number, and it will
override the default. You can try either copying only what you want or
all of the existing directory.
Yes you can make 01-mystuff.brand and in there put a specific template and
properties file. In the properties file you can specify if you want to append
or completely overwrite the welcome page. If you just want to add a link, I
would suggest appending instead of overwriting.
If you need more detailed instructions let me know. I am very familiar with
that piece of code (since I wrote it).
Best,
