The 'getAction' function inquires whether the current user has the edit option to the specific 'look' item. If it does, it builds in this little script an edit 'look' button and dynamically adds that to the edit link, which is coupled to the item, and then continues on. It dynamically generates the button for 'edit' in the dynamic get.

I decided to do it here, because then it gets added to the model, which is more where your logic, for lots of the data structure should be placed.
