I’m not sure persistence is a good idea as it would bloat projects, but I believe the downloaded extensions should be stored for all projects and made more accessible than the extension library, yes.
Example of what it could look like:

Maybe it’s designed in such a way that when you download it the first time, it gets stored in the engine files then when you want to use that extension for a different project, it would make a copy into your project folder

I suggest this since you can copy and paste extensions through multiple projects manually without internet

Quote from the first message by @Flip :

Whenever I’m offline and want to use an extension, most of the time I need to download it into the new project
A workaround I found is going to a project with the extension you want to use the copying and pasting it into the new project or by export and importing
But it would be better for extensions you previously downloaded in other projects to be loaded into another project without all those extra steps
Mabye scanning recent project folders?
