Custom action location and group ID, SharePoint

Question

I'm working with MOSS 2007 and want to install a list feature that will be accessible on the list tool bar as a link next to "Actions" instead of placing it within one of the standard dropdown menus.

Apparently, since the location of my feature will be outside of the standard Microsoft.SharePoint.StandardMenu, i'm not sure what group id or location to state within the elements.xml file. Any step by steps would be appreciated. Thanks.

As you've probably learned, the location of the custom action is dictated by the GroupID, (e.g. GroupId="NewMenu", "ActionsMenu" etc).

The following MSDN article specifies all the various GroupIDs that can be used, but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be the facility to create your own.
