Is there a way to display runway extensions to a custom waypoint that is type "airport"? Or any other type of custom waypoint?

No.  When you define a custom waypoint as an "airport", it allows you to use that waypoint for landing, but that's the only difference from other waypoints.  To extend runways, the waypoint would have to have geographic information about the orientations of the runways and the exact locations of the thresholds, but that info does not exist for custom waypoints.
