Description

Is your feature request an entirely new concept?
Not entirely a new concept. This currently happens automatically when modules are dropped in the plugin folder. This will enable an extension to be manually registered without being in a certain folder.

Is your feature request related to an existing component?
Yes? There are extension discovery/repository component.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Not a problem per se... it just allows developers to easily extend a data source plugin in an executable, for example.

Additional context
We'd have to consider how this works when plugin isolation is used.

Research direction

Start by reading the extension discovery/repository component and the existing plugin-folder registration flow. Trace how plugin isolation affects discovery, then clarify the registration API and its behavior for extensions hosted directly in an executable. Done means a data source extension can be registered manually without residing in the plugin folder, with isolation behavior defined.
