We achieved by doing this.

Add/Use an existing ribbon/command bar button & it's Enable rule as shortcut to execute the below script as a Function from javascript web resource: [Simply copy this script, change org_url & run it in browser developer toolbar console to see it in action]

    var element = window.parent.document.getElementById("navTabGroupDiv");
    var url = "http://<org_url>/_imgs/AboutBox.gif";
    var para = document.createElement("img");
            para.id = "myimg"
            para.alt = "OhMyGod";
            para.src = url;
            para.style.float = "right";
            para.style.height = "30px";
            para.style.marginTop  = "10px";
            para.onclick = function () {
                var webResource = 'test.html';
                Xrm.Utility.openWebResource(webResource, null);
            };
            
            element.appendChild(para);
            
            var Relement = window.parent.document.getElementsByClassName("navTabFiller");
            if (Relement!=undefined && Relement.length > 0)
                Relement[0].remove();
