Edit Checklist function 'Save as template'

Is there a way to edit the functionality of the 'Save as template' button on the Checklist formatter?

I'm trying to create a user-friendly way for ITIL techs to edit the checklist_templates from the formatter instead of going to checklist_templates.list. I was hoping to create another button called Update Checklist Template which would update the current template with the changes, listing what the changes are based on a comparison of the Checklist Items to the original JSON.

 

I see that there is a UI Action called "Save as template", but editting it doesn't seem to do anything to the button on the formatter.

 

I saw in another post that this functionality is within a widget that can't be editted, but was hoping that there was some way to work around this or even if just to have a reference script to build out a new formatter.

The only workaround I can think of that will still be user-friendly, is formatting the field on the checklist_template form that holds the JSON to be similar to the format of the Checklist formatter so that they can add/remove items directly from the template.

@Ezra Kim Modifying the functionality of this component is not straightforward since it's part of the platform's core functionality. 

'Not straightforward' as in its complicated or as in I can't access the functionality to make it possible?
