If you can’t use Base.get_extension, you could always just define your own, i.e. in your main package have a function stub

#MyPackage/src/MyPackage.jl
module MyPackage

function get_foo_extension end

end

and then in your extension file you’d have

#MyPackage/ext/MyPackageFooExt.jl
module MyPackageFooExt

using MyPackage

MyPackage.get_foo_extension() = MyPackageFooExt

end

Users can then access the extension module with

MyPackage.get_foo_extension()
