Joomla! 5.x Coding • Extend Custom field of type media

Hi,
I have several custom fields, which I use in a subform.
One of the fields is of type media.
The custom field media is working. I can upload a file and set the alt_text attribute.

For my website I also need two attributes, "copyright_text" and "round_corners". copyright_text is a text input and "round_corners" a checkbox.

By manipulating the core file libraries/src/Form/Field/AccessiblemediaField.php I will get the correct result. E.g. by adding the copyright_text to the xml output:
<field
name="alt_text"
type="text"
label="JLIB_FORM_FIELD_PARAM_ACCESSIBLEMEDIA_PARAMS_ALT_TEXT_LABEL"
/>

<field
name="copyright_text"
type="text"
label="JLIB_FORM_FIELD_PARAM_ACCESSIBLEMEDIA_PARAMS_COPYRIGHT_TEXT_LABEL"
/>

How can I extend that file. I tried to use a custom plugin. But the file is never loaded.
I am looking forward to get some input from you !
Thank you and best regards

Ben
