For example, I have a custom resource EventHandler, and I want to export it like export (EventHandler) var event. But, if I try this, I will catch an error. I don’t want to export basicResource type. Should I write some kind of C++ extension? How can i do this?

Any reason why

export (Script) var event

or

export (PackedScene) var event

won’t work for you?

Script and PackedScene are engine resources, custom resources are something different.

I see. Where could I read up on custom resources? Never used them so far.

I’m not sure to remember what was the status on this, but the following thread may help: Custom-made resource types cannot be used in export statement · Issue #6763 · godotengine/godot · GitHub
It’s very old, you may need to read a bit.

This thread’s been archived but there’s a new thread in the godot-archives repository: Add first-class custom resource support · Issue #18 · godotengine/godot-proposals · GitHub
Apparently this feature is planned for Godot 4.0
