Ability to use external Secret Vault to store Extension credentials

We are currently looking at connecting OpenPages with an internal AI Service Endpoint to configure Custom Machine Learning Use Cases. We are planning to use Extensions to connect to the endpoint but internal policies prohibit us from the storage of a client id/secret that would be required for the OAuth authentication or the API Key for API Key authentication within the OpenPages Configuration.

We would like to be able to connect OpenPages to an external Password Vault to retrieve the credentials from there when using the extension, so we can use the Password Vault for rotating the credentials and control accessibility going forward.
