Description
My web mailer looks like this:

As you can see, there are some action buttons. Basically they are just DIV elements with special CSS classes like
<div class="item del" title="Löschen">Löschen</div>
Is there a way to customise Vimium to include them when highlighting links via f/F? I was thinking of something similar to customisable previous/next patterns where I could just add new ones in German to the existing ones in English.

Research direction
Start by tracing how Vimium's f/F link highlighting identifies clickable elements, then compare that behavior with the existing customizable previous/next patterns. The work is done when users can configure recognition of DIV-based action buttons, including the example German web-mailer controls.
