You can use the vnd.dovecot.execute  extension to achieve pretty much 
the same as extdata, e.g. calling a shell script that use command line 
database query tools such as pgsql, msql or ldapsearch. Be careful with 
passing parameters though.

Also, the extprograms plugin can be used in global context without problems.
