Can I extend existing extensions eg. modals?

Is it possible to extend existing extensions? Eg. if I want to add some extra functionality to the icon picker modal? Or do I have to reimplement it completely?

Hi Søren, As things are now, then its a no. Such would have been achieved by making that modal consist of inner extensions. And the overwrite feature that can be used when we have a list of extensions displayed, would not work in this case — cause modals get opened by using their specific alias. Could you help me understand your case by explaining what it is you want to achieve? Thanks in advance 🙂

Hi Niels I have a few ideas 🙂 One was an extension to the icon picker, so it would search using something like iconify.design, and let the user add icons from there into the icon repo in Umbraco, but without importing all icons into Umbraco at once. The idea was to either add a workspace view-like feature with the iconify search, or simply add a section of icons from iconify when searching. Another idea was to enable stock picture search in the media picker, so you could find pictures on eg. unsplash.com and automatically import them into the media library while picking media. This could also be a great extension point for DAMs
