Never mind - I was totally mis-remembering things.

It's that the normal specialties for a skill are added as child picks in the skill's gizmo, but then for specialties added from outside, those live in the hero pick. They use a script to add their name to a text field on the skill, and for the final display of that skill's name, with the specialties included, that list of external specialties is combined with the list of specialties inside the gizmo, in a way that makes it look to the user like everything is together.

When you look at the customization form for a skill, since in Shadowrun, external specialties can only be added in advancement mode, not in creation mode, in advancement mode, the table for adding specialties is not shown - instead, a text portal displays the combined list of specialties.
