does nop 2.3 provide a plug-able way to switch out the current datepicker ( which is three dropdown fields for day/month/year)

i see that on the view it renders them with a custom html extension as an html string
and the controller parses the attributes in post

has this been changed in the current nop or is there a workaround? because to me it seems like i'll have to overhaul the entire product attribute rendering and parsing logic to just change the calendar(datepicker dropdown) on the view.
