Convex components feedback

While components are a great addition to the convex ecosystem, depending on the dev at convex to get the api we might want to build (for the worse or the better) is really limited. Example with the polar component where I want much more control and extend it, I just ending up building it myself because the component is not behaving the way I want. In this particular example, using the checkout component creates a customer without the user intending to subscribe. Instead of fighting with the component implementation which I did for a while, I am now implementing the way I want it to work. And the component is a great help to understand how the polar api works. I just wish there would be a way to implement a plugin element into the convex component logic which would enable to build on top of what convex dev build to save time on the custom implementation I want without bugging the team about it. Curious if it is something in the work? customising schemas and event handling, adding custom functions interacting with the inner tables of the component. If you see what I mean.
