What about appendage or adjunct then:
Appendage \Ap*pend"age\, n.
1. Something appended to, or accompanying, a principal or
greater thing, though not necessary to it, as a portico to
a house.
[1913 Webster]
Adjunct \Ad"junct`\, n.
1. Something joined or added to another thing, but not
essentially a part of it.
[1913 Webster]
