That is technically possible, but requires you to load additional xPDO maps in order for the xPDO APIs to be able of working with your extra field. I don’t think there’s documentation about that, but I know minishop2 does that sort of thing quite extensively.
Generally though, I’m not quite sure if adding fields to the core models is the best way to go. Could you elaborate on your use case/what you’re trying to achieve? Maybe we can suggest an alternative for you.
