Allowing extension of Strawberry Graphql using plugins

[129828]

NetBox version

v4.0.9

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

In previous version it was possible to extend the graphql output of existing models in netbox using a plugin. So creating a CMDB model with a OneToOneField to a dcim.device allowed it to be retrievable using either the API or GraphQL.

However, since the switch to Strawberry I cannot find how I can achieve this. There does not seem te be a way to extend existing models to allow for this.

Use case

This change would allow data to be more easily retrieved from netbox using graphql.
While it is possible to do multiple requests and merge them later this goes against the idea behind graphql that you only need 1 request.

Should this be considered a bug as previously supported behavior has been removed?

I would strongly support that.

I agree with the bug designation..

@129828 @peteeckel @sirtux could one of you please resubmit this as a bug report, citing the previously working code and any additional context that would be helpful in restoring the functionality?
