Brief: Document Libraries and List are two different things. Both holds different content type. If you Allow Management of Content Types via List Settings > Advanced Settings, you will observe the content type that are available for document library are not available for a List like Custom List and vice-versa.
Solution: But to address your requirement you can have documents and link to documents Content type in the same document library. Allow Management of Content Types to YES
via Library Settings > Advanced Settings. Then Add from existing content types
select - Link to Document.
I hope this solution addresses your requirement as what you have asked in question - "Admin can add the document or link(item like list)"
