how could I link it to a button?

Answer 1

To link an action with a button your need to add your button to your html page

<button id="select" data-dojo-type="dijit/form/Button">Sélectionner une zone</button>

After go to your map.js :

var selectionTool = dijit.byId("select");
    selectionTool.on("click",startSelect);

you declare your button with dijit.byid and after active the event on click to go to a function who provide your action/ call to a module :

function startSelect(){
        select.activate(Draw.POLYGON);
    };

hope i anser to your question if not give us precisions.
