Yes, but the point of external linkbases is that they are
out-of-line. NO changes are needed to Docbook whatsoever to support
them.
In general, extended links are a mess. It's not clear what they mean
or how they would be implemented. Unless you have a specific use case
for them in a particular context, I recommend leaving out extended
links.
