I want to enhance navigation and interactivity from the Spotify Plus Card in my Home Assistant dashboard. Right now, there's no way to add a custom button within the card that lets me perform actions like navigating to my media center dashboard or triggering scripts. I end up having to place separate buttons outside the card, which breaks the visual flow and takes up extra space.

Describe the solution you'd like

I’d like the ability to define a custom button or icon inside the Spotify Plus Card with support for:

• tap_action
• double_tap_action
• (optionally) hold_action
  This button would be user-configurable with an icon (e.g., mdi:television) and allow actions like navigating to another Lovelace dashboard or calling a script or service.

custom_button:
  icon: mdi:television
  tap_action:
    action: navigate
    navigation_path: /lovelace/media
  double_tap_action:
    action: call-service
    service: script.open_media_popup

Describe alternatives you've considered

Using a separate button-card next to the Spotify Plus Card, but this breaks layout consistency and requires extra positioning logic.
Wrapping the card in a config-template-card to trigger navigation, but this is limited and affects the entire card, not a specific button.

Additional context

This feature would enhance the Spotify Plus Card’s flexibility and bring it in line with other Lovelace cards that support actions, such as button-card or picture-elements. It would be especially helpful for wall dashboards or tablets where quick access to media navigation is essential.

That's a pretty big ask ... questions:

1. what section would the custom buttons be attached to? I assume the player section, but there are 12 other sections on the card (e.g. search, favorites, devices, etc). Or would you want to add footer area icons?

2. I assume you would want the ability to utilize metadata from a currently selected item as well? for example, if something is currently playing you would want to be able to utilize various parts of the metadata to pass to your service call (e.g. track name, spotify uri value, cover art link, etc).

To be honest, this is way outside the original scope of the card and would probably take a total re-design of the card to accomplish what you want to do.

Thank you for the reply!

To clarify, I’m not requesting a global floating button or a full redesign — just a way to optionally replace an existing section icon/button (like audiobookFavorites) with a custom button.

What I’m looking for:
The ability to replace a built-in section (like audiobookFavorites, devices, userpresets, etc.) with a custom button
This button would allow me to:
Define a custom icon
Add standard Lovelace actions like tap_action or double_tap_action
Optionally pass static parameters (no need for full metadata binding)

Use case:
Let’s say I disable or don’t use audiobookFavorites. Instead of leaving that button out, I could do something like:

sections:
  - player
  - custom
custom_sections:
  - id: custom_media
    icon: mdi:television
    tap_action:
      action: navigate
      navigation_path: /lovelace/media

This would render just like the other section buttons, and follow the same placement logic. Also, thank you for your excellent work on this card — it really elevates my dashboard and makes my media experience feel integrated and polished.
