In MLCad for example, on the "Add Part" dialog, you can tick "Custom Part" and then manually browse a part from any folder. This is one way of adding parts that are not part of the official library (if that's what you mean by "extra parts").

Yes, it is. Just put the special parts in the same folder than your model file.
That should work.
Or combine all together in am MPD content file.
Stephen, Michael, thank you both for the information. I was well aware of the add part dialogue, I've ticked the custom part radio button and used it to manually type in the name of a dat file several times. It has never dawned on me that I could use that dialogue to browse to a folder outside of LDaw's default parts folder.
