There is have to be a way … I hope at least
There is no reason for it. With themes, you can only have one theme active, so a child capacity makes sense. You can have any number of plugins, so there’s no need for child plugins. Just make another plugin and activate it. It can check through other mechanisms if other plugins are active or not if you’re looking for some sort of dependency verification or similar.
If not that, what is so important that there be a child plugin?
Child themes work by overriding theme options.
Plugins do it via filters and actions. Many of them permit you to change or hook into functions in order to change them. We call those add-on plugins.
You’ll have to talk to the plugin developer to see if they have that feature.
