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).
