I didn't mean an AC charger, but a PD trigger that I can program to request any voltage I want. Currently only fixed voltages (5V/12V/20V) are available.

I think that's because PD spec is only those voltages (5,9,15 and 20 volts). You'll have to use a regulator or buck converter to get other voltages.

PPS extension allows for arbitrary voltages
