Is it not possible to add an extra OptionMembers value to a option field in a built-in business table?

Yes. In practical terms you cannot extend options but only create brand new ones - better if you already created them with extensible Enums option -.
Microsoft will start using Enums all across the application with the upcoming 2020 Wave 1 (ETA April 2020).
If this is vital in your development, as I am think of, then I would wait for its release (few weeks now) and double check which enum you could extend.
So the only solution is to create a new field, identical to the "Document Type" field with my extra options. Hmm... How annoying
That way, I have to go through the entire code base and fix all the places where "Document Type" are used. Can it really be true?
Not now. But starting BC 2020 wave 1 , Microsoft is going to change some of the option field into Enum. Once they change to Enum, we can extent it.
