Yes, you can extend Umbraco property editors without modifying core code by using custom property actions. This approach facilitates adding shortcuts and context-specific operations via the Umbraco extension registry.

Custom actions for Umbraco backoffice extensions are limited to performing actions based on the property's current value or context. They generate TypeScript and manifest files specifically for UI extensions and do not alter underlying core property editor logic.
