Author is there a way to continue a closed path?

Okay I have been trying to figure this out forever. Lets say I have a
sqauare, a closed path but I want to add something to its edge with the pen
tool (i.e. a swurl edge). How do I go about 'continuing' a closed path? is
it even possible?

Thanks!

You could outline both of the paths and then merge both resulting shapes.

okay you said 'merge.' is this an actual command or is there a process to
doing this?

Thanks.

The actual command is "Combine".
