Feature description

Some channels (eg, LTT) add references to other channels, usually others they operate, on the home tab of their channel. It doesn't seem currently possible to fetch these linked channels using NewPipeExtractor.

Why do you want this feature?

I'm an end user of LibreTube. I opened an issue on their repo first, and the dev referred me to here since the extractor doesn't support fetching this data.

I'd like the feature because it would make onboarding in YouTube third-party clients easier overall, when the user needs to quickly add the channels he wants to subscribe to.
