How to integrate mgears reference arrays on components that don't already support them?

[alonza1]

I am rigging a bipedal character who has tentacles coming out of the head.
The component I chose for the tentacles is the spine_S_shape_01.
It’s perfect except for the fact that it doesn’t have the IK Reference Array settings in it’s SettingsUI.

Does anyone have any tips on how to add that?
Or maybe a custom step method for adding a Space Switcher to anything I could learn something from?

Thank you for your time!

What I would do is parent it under a control_01 and put the space switch on that control instead.

And if needed, hide/lock that control from the animators.
