Documentation for Umbraco 7 backoffice customization

I’m having a very hard time finding any documentation on how to customize the backoffice web client (Angular) for Umbraco 7.1+.

For instance, can you do the following and how is it best done?

  • Create new custom actions for context menus
  • Show/hide context menu items based on a node type and possibly even the node content
  • Hook into an existing action at various points in the process, or override the existing action.
  • Hook into existing events on the client side (and where do I find a list of the events I can hook into)

Perhaps some of this stuff doesn’t exist, but I suspect there are ways of doing this.
