(assuming greenstone 2.8)

Yes it is possible. You need to *override* the macro _globallinks which is
in <gsdl>/macros/nav_css.dm

So to do this you would add something like the following under "package
Global" (without the quotes) in your extra.dm previously described.

HOME HELP PREFERENCES {<a href="http://www.google.com">My Link</a> HOME HELP PREFERENCES}

Note:
The original globallinks macro in nav_css looks like the following:

HOME HELP PREFERENCES {HOME HELP PREFERENCES}

For more information about macros please see the following pages in the
greenstone wiki:
http://wiki.greenstone.org/wiki/index.php/Customizing_your_Greenstone_library
http://wiki.greenstone.org/wiki/index.php/All_about_macros

Regards,

Richard.
