Fix a broken loop on a car key

My car-key broke off my key-ring.

The small loop at bottom right of photo is broken.

How can I fashion some method of securely attaching this to a key-ring?


Followup to ErinGoBragh's comment:

The key (or more accurately the transmitter housing) can't easily be taken apart, the battery is accessed by turning a screw to unlock a battery holder that slides out. I suspect the plastic is glued (or maybe solvent-welded) together.

After ErinGoBragh's comment and Tetsujin's answer I dug around a bit more assertively ...

Maybe there is some way to make a replacement for this small loop with its cruciform anchor-foot?

Note: I'm after a simple hack, preferably one that will hold up for a few years. I'm NOT looking for "as new" (though maybe I could cannibalise something off eBay?)
