Reuse a sketch created within a custom feature

Hello.

I'm creating a sketch within a custom feature. Then I'd like to perform extrusion with it, but I'd like to call standard extrusion feature instead of making it within a script. Reason for that -- quite complicated API of the extrusion and quite rich standard extrusion feature config..

My problem is the following. Once custom feature creates sketch with faces/edges I can select them one by one and pass to the extrude. However with a regular sketch I can pass the whole one. It will be denoted as "faces of sketch 1". I'd like to do the same with a custom feature, since it generates lots of faces.

Is there a way to "export" the sketch/faces/edges created by a custom feature? So I can use it in further features without listing
