[Feature Request] allow extension hooks in Dash #1465
Description
I am relying on dash-extensions on one side for some features (memoization, ...)
On the other side, I would like to wrap the dash app in django with django-plotly-dash for other features (full website with django + store state in DB).
These two projects (dash-extensions and django-plotly-dash) both implement a new Dash object that reuse the original Dash objects but rewrite callbacks, or do other manipulations on top of the standard Dash object.
There are also incompatibles AFAIK.
I wonder if it would not be interesting to see in these two projects the hooks that would be needed in the dash framework to allow for a smoother extension of Dash (and also make these extensions compatible with each others).
Has there already been some discussion on this topic ? @emilhe you may be more aware ...

I am not aware of any such efforts from an official side, but I think it would be an awesome feature! It might also lower the barrier of entry, in particular for new users, if they didn't have to replace all of their objects with 3rd party clones (as i do in dash-extensions), but only had to import the relevant extensions (callback grouper, server side output, ...).

From your experience with dash-extensions, what would be the hooks needed for dash-extensions to be able to be "plug and play"?
