Extending tab or individual widget in dialog is very easy in AEM as everything is stored in JSON format.

Just set a particular widget 's xtype to cqinclude and extend the path down to the individual widget level too, i.e.

To extend custom widget : You can use the xtype as cqinclude and path to the specific widget such as "apps/myproject/dialog/tab2/items/custom.infinity.json" 

Read about learn about various widget options: https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-1/develop/components/widgets.html

This will inherit the whole dialog. I think She is more interested in extending one or more properties from other component.

Agreed, that's the only way to inherit the properties.

Thank you all for quick responses, help is very much appreciated.
