Type of Enhancement

Server Backend/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Adding a plugin ecosystem for custom enhancements that don't have anything to do with the existing app, but allow for greater integration with outside custom code.

Why would this be helpful?

In my particular case, it is to add a plugin on search, that if it doesn't find the audiobook in library it adds a button to find and download it using a custom plugin.

But the plugin ecosystem is generally extensible for any new enhancements that don't go in the main app logically.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Adding custom plugins for any usecase.
Search and install for easy integration of new plugins

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v2.30.0

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

I had searched for it in existing issues. But hadn’t found it. My bad.
