Are you looking for this, it's new in 1.1:

Copying the relevant code from the link with some slight modifications, it's supposed to go into your app's admin.py:

class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):

    def get_urls(self):
        urls = super(MyModelAdmin, self).get_urls()
        my_urls = patterns('app.your_admin_views',
            (r'^my_view/$', self.my_view)
        )
        return my_urls + urls

You could place the new admin views in a file called your_admin_views.py under your app directory or whichever way you want.
