Robert-
Thanks so much for the tip, its been a while--but I got what I wanted to work going... a link to a data table for a specific layer in the LayerList. I really had to dig into actionscript, which isn't so bad once you get used to it. If anyone needs help with this just let me know.... Here is how it looks now:

I have one more question and that is that I would like to disable the functionality of the arrows to expand and show the KML folder and layers. This is useless extraneous info for my application. I've dug through the various files in src/com.esri.viewer/components/toc/tocclasses but I can't find where to turn this off. I'm assuming its just commenting something out. Robert or others, ideas are much appreciated. Screenshot of what I'd like to disable:
