Hi there is somewhat deliberately no such mechanism. The way all of the rest of the platform deals with plugins is by doing queries on the package manager. For example, if the plugins are implemented as a service, you define an Intent action string for such a plugin which they declare in their manifest, and you can very efficiently query the package manager for all such services.
