Correct. Switches are only momentary contact.


You really don't need to get to the transformer, only the same two wires
going to the first switch. You can parallel them to as many additional
switches as you'd like


Thank good ness the OP is only dealing with the low voltage side of
this circuit. If it was was regular line voltage they's be deadly (or
dead!).
Sounds like it is momentary contact switch which 'trggers' some sort
of remote light control analog or semi solid state relay. A 'sort of'
push button operation.
