Add delete, approve, spam Links to Comments

Per default wp_list_comments() calls the class Walker_Comment. Its method start_el() calls edit_comment_link() and here we find a filter for your question: It is called ‘edit_comment_link’ and it passes two variables, the link text and the comment ID, which we can use.
