All you need to know is Sling Resource Merger for this : https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-0/develop/platform/overlays.html

Take a look article where it as been shown how to do it @ http://experience-aem.blogspot.in/2014/04/aem-cq-6-add-new-left-rail-nav-item.html

Hi

Please have a look at this community article:-

Link:- http://scottsdigitalcommunity.blogspot.in/2016/02/developing-vanitypath-manager-for-adobe.html

The following location shows the JCR node that is responsible for adding a new menu option under the Tools menu. 

JCR nodes that create a new menu option under Tools

The “/apps/cq/core/content/nav/tools/" node is an nt:unstructured with the following properties:

• href - specifies the web page that is rendered when the menu option is clicked. In this example, /etc/vanity-url.html is specified. 
• jcr:description - provides a description of the menu item
• jcr:title - the title that appears. In this example, it is Vanity URL Manager.

I hope this will help you.

Thanks and Regards
