How can this extruded edge line up in the exact same angle as the vertex/edge it originates from?

$\begingroup$ maybe some annotations would help to show what you mean. If i understood you right...just extrude both vertices? $\endgroup$– ChrisCommented Aug 8, 2023 at 9:17

If you create an orientation from an edge, or any 2 points, its Y is the vector between them:
Below, 'Create Orientation' is added to the Quick Menu. If you use it a lot, you might want to check 'Overwrite Previous' on first use, in its F9 panel.
Above, the result of EY.

I'm not 100% sure if there is another way, but I usually create another vertex and then tap GG then press Alt to move it beyond.
First make sure Auto Merge and Split Edges are ticked

$\begingroup$ That just resets the vertex to its original position for me unfortunatwly $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 8, 2023 at 9:32

$\begingroup$ when you press
GGyou can move the vertex, then hold downAltwhile you are moving the vertex and move beyond. Then left click to confirm, and then you can releaseAlt. $\endgroup$– Harry McKenzie ♦Commented Aug 8, 2023 at 9:33
