Extending Quick Publish Functionality for Selected User Groups with Email Notification

Question

I have a requirement to extend the functionality of the Quick Publish button. Currently, when a user clicks it, the page and its references are published, and a version of the page is created.
I want to customize this functionality so that after the version is created, an email is sent to specific people in a particular user group.
Additionally, this new functionality should apply only to a few selected user groups.
I am considering two options and would appreciate any guidance:
1. Is there a way to extend the functionality of the existing Quick Publish button to achieve this?
2. Alternatively, can I create a new button and implement the complete functionality from scratch, applying it only to the selected user groups?

Hi @src_aem_dev
You can create a new button and hide the OOTB for the users who should receive the email. You should reverse the visibility for remaining users.

Please write a logic to include references as well.

OOTB quick publish logic example :

var REPLICATE_URL = Granite.HTTP.externalize("/bin/replicate");
    var QUICKPUBLISH_TITLE = Granite.I18n.get("Quick Publish");
    var PUBLISH_TEXT = Granite.I18n.get("Publish");
    var CANCEL_TEXT = Granite.I18n.get("Cancel");
    var ERROR_TEXT = Granite.I18n.get("Error");
    var DEFAULT_REPLICATION_AGENT_ID = "publish";
    $(window).adaptTo("foundation-registry").register("foundation.collection.action.action", {
        name: "cq.wcm.quickpublish",
        handler: function(name, el, config, collection, selections) {
            var message = createEl("div");
            var intro = createEl("p").appendTo(message);
            if (selections.length === 1)
                intro.text(Granite.I18n.get("The page and their references will be published."));
            else
                intro.text(Granite.I18n.get("The {0} pages and their references will be published.", selections.length));
            var ui = $(window).adaptTo("foundation-ui");
            ui.prompt(QUICKPUBLISH_TITLE, message.html(), "notice", [{
                text: CANCEL_TEXT
            }, {
                text: PUBLISH_TEXT,
                primary: true,
                handler: function() {
                    activatePagesAndItsReferences(config, collection, selections)
                }
            }])
        }
    })
}
)(window, document, Granite.$, Granite);
(function(window, document, $, URITemplate) {
    var replicateURL = Granite.HTTP.externalize("/bin/replicate");
    var successMessage = Granite.I18n.get("The item has been published");
    var DEFAULT_REPLICATION_AGENT_ID = "publish";
    $(window).adaptTo("foundation-registry").register("foundation.collection.action.action", {
        name: "cq.wcm.publish",

            var ui = $(window).adaptTo("foundation-ui");
            ui.wait();
            var paths = selections.map(function(v) {
                var item = $(v);
                var refPath = item.data("checkReferencesPath");
                if (!refPath)
                    refPath = item.children().data("checkReferencesPath");
                if (refPath)
                    return refPath.split(",");
                return item.data("foundationCollectionItemId")
            });
            if (!paths.length)
                return;
