Customizing the built in WorkbenchAction

I just started working on a project using RCP. And in its "about" section, it uses the built in WorkbenchAction: 

IWorkbenchAction actionAbout = ActionFactory.ABOUT.create(window);
actionAbout.setText(Messages.ABOUT);
itemAbout = new ActionContributionItem(actionAbout);

However, I need to add a tab in that popup and I'm not finding any way to customize it. Is this something possible or should look for another way to do things?

Use the org.eclipse.ui.installationPages extension point to add a tab to the Installation Details tabs.

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.installationPages"> 
   <page
        name="XYZ Info"
        class="package.XYZInstallInfoPage"
        id="plugin.xyz>
   </page>
</extension>

Your class must extends org.eclipse.ui.about.InstallationPage
