How to move topic-notifications-button and invite-reply-button from footer?

Dev

There are two special buttons in discourse/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/views/topic-footer-buttons.js.es6: topic-notifications-button and invite-reply-button.

I am exploring the possibility of moving these buttons to an area in the first post, probably a widget attached to the post or the post-menu. I am struggling though with how to do this.

One thought I had was to get extend or reopen the ContainerView in my plugin:

const ContainerView = api.container.lookupFactory('view:container');
  ContainerView.reopen({
  //code in here that would at least recreate putting these buttons on the page

However, I can’t 1) Even recreate the logic in my plugin to show these buttons elsewhere and 2) think how to move the logic else where.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

It seems as invite-reply-button should be an easy one to create. I will simply add the showInvite action to the button I create.

The more complicated issue is certainly the topic-notifications-button. Unlike the other buttons, it is a component, not a view. Is this an advantage? In Handlebars it would be easy to call the component in the template, how is this done in a widget with virtual-dom?

EDIT: api.container.lookupFactory("component:" + "topic-notifications-button"); …this is about all I have so far. A possible way to get the component I need, but how to included in vdom widget?
