Items and procedures in datapacks

Hey! i was wondering (as the title suggests) if there is any way currently to add custom items or procedures to datapacks like you do with mods. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

I don't think you can really do this easily because of fundamental internal differences between datapacks and mods on Minecraft's side.

However, I think you can use commands in functions and tag them a certain way to have some procedure-like effects, but I don't know much about it.

And a resource pack can, I think, cause items to change their textures under certain conditions, which could be used to imitate adding new items.

But I really don't know much about either of those, so I can't help you with those, and I may be mistaken about what I think I know.
