Plugins? Of some sort?

[gaussandhisgun]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm using Alpaca and https://huggingface.co/chat in parallel depending on the scenario, and I've come to notice that Aplaca does not have any kind of "plugin" system to expose additional stuff to LLMs. I mean, you cant even make Gemma summarize pages for you from a link because Gemma can't browse web!

Describe the solution you'd like
Some kind of a plugin system that lets the LLMs ran in Alpaca interact with plugin-provided APIs. Maybe with an optional confirmation, so that if you ask it to "do commands on my computer" you can review the commands before they're executed.

Describe alternatives you've considered
HuggingChat has plugins, and they're useful even, but its not offline and it looks... meh.

Additional context

Hi, you can execute code by asking the models to represent it in code blocks, Alpaca currently supports C++, Bash, Python and HTML (Small web server) execution.

If you paste a url into the message box Alpaca will give you the option to extract the text from it and attach it as a markdown file to the prompt.

I prefer to develop these features myself so if you have any other ideas feel free to tell me!
