I usually do this by setting up a method to return an HTML link to a custom 
admin page, referencing that in the list_display tuple:

    class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
        list_display = ('name', 'action_link')

        def action_link(self, obj):
            return "<a href='%s'>Do action on this object</a>" % 
reverse('action_view', args=(obj.pk,))
        action_link.allow_tags = True
