I’ve found htmx to be the ultimate Django customising machine. Just make an htmx view and stick it anywhere in your admin. You can do this either by overriding a specific model admin’s template for more complex logic (for example the change template), or by sticking the htmx view in an admin read only field (super simple and works very well).

This approach allows you to have some very complex views in the Django admin without ever touching the internal of the Django admin itself. I used to waste hours trying to get the admin to do what I wanted until I figured out this neat little trick.
