That makes no sense. Graphics can be added via the API and we won't discard
them. That is how LO is designed.

Yes. There are hooks for that. Please read the API documentation for more
information.

We don't offer bug trackers for third party developers. You need to find a way
to contact the extension author or fix the issue yourself. After all, the
extension is just a zip file with the Macro code inside.

Please stop changing the status of this bug report.
