Alesis Multimix Line 8
(it's not hissy)

the circuit schematic is available.

I could look at the Alesis schematic and see if that's possible.
...but it would need holes drilling in some tough metal,
and (i expect) some additional resistors.

while on some mixers the Mute goes to a Bus, that's not the
case here.
Likely those switches are just single pole single throw
(just on/off)...it might be possible to re-purpose them
as sends, but I think you'd need some additional circuitry.

Without a schematic, modding isn't at all easy.

My pre-schematic attempt to mod the Alesis was a disaster.

another possible Alesis mod would do this (but would use
up the circuit you wanted for the aux send)

no ideas
