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

Set the component you want to extend as sling:superResouceType

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