Default ASR switch questions

Need some info on how the actual button works. Heres what I wanna do.

I have an ASR switch that I wanna use as my line lock switch. Unlike the foglight switch, it isn't a toggle. Now I'm not too electrically literate but I could wing it with some knowledge on how the actual switch works and whether or not I need a relay of some sort. (totally relay clueless) Anyone have any suggestions where I would start and what not?

Pretty sure it's a momentary switch, so it would not be a direct hookup nor would a relay suffice. You'd probably need some sort of toggle e.g. a "T flip-flop" (that's an actual electronics term, believe it or not). That is, unless your line lock supports a momentary switch input (which would mean it would have some sort of toggle built-in).
