You can use Qt APIs to create plugins that extend Qt applications.
This allows you to add your own widgets to Qt Designer.
The most flexible way to include a plugin with an application is to compile it
into a dynamic library that is shipped separately, and detected and loaded at runtime.
In theory, you could also create plugins to extend Qt Creator functionality,
but you do not usually need to do so.

\gui{Help > About Plugins}.

change the default plugin path, see \l{How to Create Qt Plugins}.
