Is there such a thing as an App Extension

The below ia a "Visualization" extension I wrote to write a value from the window query string into a variable in an app but I can only use it as a chart - i.e. I have do drag the extension onto a sheet for it to work.

How can I use this "application wide" so it is always setting a variable on every sheet without needing to add a chart extension to a sheet?

define( [

'qlik','jquery'

function ( qlik ) {

var app = qlik.currApp();

const queryString = window.location.search;

const urlParams = new URLSearchParams(queryString);

const company_id = urlParams.get('company_id');

app.variable.setStringValue('vCompanyId' , company_id);

return {

paint: function ( $element, layout ) {

$element.empty();

//..

}

};

} );

Hey @mchrenka you cannot do this wihtout putting your extension in every sheets.
An alternative could be create a backend service which open your Qlik app and put the extensions in all the available sheets, automatically, using Engine APIs.
