Where to add addins for Office 2010 in my GUI? (And How?)

Until Office 2007 was distributed, add-ins would add a tab to the main options dialog (Tools | Options), where users could configure add options. Although this still works in Office 2010, the way it is implemented looks like a backward compatible grip, similar to the COM-Addins tab on the new ribbon where the buttons go, which in previous versions would be placed on the toolbar:

To go to the page with additional parameters, you need to go to the "File Settings", then go to the "Add-ons" page and find the "Add-on Settings", click it, and then select the appropriate Addin tab. I find it hard to believe that it should be so, or is that so? Of course, there must be some way to put my advanced options directly in the File | Options?

Where can I find a document describing best practices for application developers that explain where to place my advanced application settings page (and how) in Office 2010?

Now I have found the following quote in the article "UI Extensions in Outlook 2010" on MSDN, which was linked to the "What's New for Developers in Outlook 2010" -document:

"Consider customizing the Backstage view to replace the extension properties page that were available when you clicked Tools and then Options in earlier versions of Outlook."

I'll add mine directly to the Backstage View in Office 2010, which is the sister technology of the tape.
