Description
**Describe the solution you'd like**
I'd like to be able to extend the definition of tables into multiple files or projects. For example In SharedProject have a table FooBar and then in MyProject have a file FooBarCustom where the definition is alter table FooBar add MyCustomColumn.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
As an alternative I do not use database references instead I include my project as git sub module and just include / exclude individual files to accomplish similar behavior. However, if a column is added in the SharedProject to a table it needs to be manually added to my custom table definition.

Research direction
The issue names SharedProject, MyProject, FooBar, FooBarCustom, database references, and a git submodule, but no source file, test, or entry point. Start by locating how SQL project table definitions and cross-project references are represented; done would support extending one table definition across projects without manually duplicating newly added columns.
