Extensibility revolves around the use of HxGN SDx methods that are implementing the
WebClientExtensibility client API. The Web Client and an external application communicate
securely using a wrapper library around the HTML5 postMessage API.
Each method must specify a URL to the external application. The URL is used in an
iframe hosted within the Web Client (after undergoing sanitization and security checks,
see https://angular.io/).
