This part is possible through a Sirius-specific extension point to add
new elements to the "tabbar" integrated inside Sirius diagrams.

I assume you mean "in the palette here"?

This is not currently possible as such. The set of all possible tools
which will appear inside the palette is fixed, as they are defined
inside the static VSMs (the .odesign files). Which subset of these tools
is visible at a given point can be made dynamic, and the actual behavior
of any of these can be as dynamic as you want, but currently the set of
available tools is statically defined.
One thing you can do right now, which would provide the same
functionality but with a different UI is to define a single static tool
in the palette (defined in the .odesign) which, when invoked, opens a
dialog box where the user can select which model/component to add to the
diagram. This is what Ecore Tools [1] does for example for many of its
tools ("Add" and "Add related elements" for exemple, see screenshots at
[2]).
You are not the first one to express this kind of need for a more
dynamic palette content, see for example "Bug 442145 - Provide an API to
dynamically add odesign elements" [3]. It seems your case is a little
more constrained and could avoid some of the complexities of a
completely open approach. Feel free to comment on that bug or create a
separate feature request.
