I don't see how you can simplify your code by using a single button - you
need to add a button at least once, so you have to have code that creates a
button. Whether the code runs once for the first button only or for each new
inspector/explorer does not simplify your code. You end up having more code
as now you have to figure out when you need to create a button and when to
copy an existing one.
