Calling external function from a class function

Question

I'll try to explain my need:

1. I have a generic library I created, called myIOT.h.
2. This class have a pre-configured MQTT and wifi setup.
3. Inside this library there is a mqtt_callback function, for all generic commands, such as boot_time and connection_status.
4. BUT, this library serves in several of my iot device's code, that each one has a few more mqtt commands, that is tailored just for s specific device, and I looking for a way that iot.mqtt_callback(ext_mqtt_func) will get as parameter a local ( which belong to the sketch and not to the library ), that will have the additional code needed.

I'll try to explain more clearly:

void myIOT::mqtt_callback(ext_mqtt_func){
if (a == true ) {
do something

};

else {

ext_mqtt_func()); // calling another fucntion that belongs to sketch and not library

}

Yes, you can do it.

You pass function pointer as function parameter.
