Is there a way to access the super object when extending objects using $.extend?
I would like to extend an object, override a method, but call the overridden superclass method in the subclass method.

No, because there is no superclass. According to the docs for jQuery.extend:
In order to call a “superclass” method, you would have to keep a copy of the “superclass” around somewhere (perhaps as a parameter in the “descendant” object), and call the method directly on the “superclass”.
