Tweaks in System Menu adds a shortcut button to the Gnome Tweaks(a.k.a. Tweak UI) and to the shell's Extensions (on Gnome 40 later) in the panel's system menu.
The buttons can be positioned anywhere in the system menu.
On old Shell versions (up to 3.34), the button can even be merged with the Settings button. If merged, the Settings button will be shown when opening the system menu, and Tweaks will be shown if "Alt" is pressed on the keyboard, or if the Settings button is pressed for a half second or so.
Tweaks in System Menu comes with a preference panel which can be found from the "Tweaks" or "Extensions" applications or the Gnome Shell Extensions page.
