There is no plan to provide an extension mechanism at the parsing level.

Let me quote that in full:

1. There is no plan to provide an extension mechanism at the parsing level. A lot can already be achieved by using reference resolvers, abusing code fences, post-processing the abstract syntax tree, or extending the renderers.

Regarding:

Also, what if I want to add a new type of inline e.g. HashTag of Text.t node the docs seem to suggest that it’s not a supported use-case, is it?

You can add a case to the extensible inline type and process Text.t nodes to recognize them.

The approach has some limitations (notably you arrive after escaping) but that’s what I used for example in the ocamlmark POC to provide a syntax for heading identifiers. See the code here.
