Exactly. As the docs say "Such a change is usually only sensible if you
concurrently make the same change in the extension's script file." So
you can edit this file:
$(pg_config --sharedir)/extension/dblink--1.1.sql
and add your GRANT. However also be advised that the change will be lost
on a major upgrade.
An alternate might be to wrap the dblink function call with your own
security definer function. That would get dumped and reloaded. Just be
careful what you allow that function to do -- i.e. don't let it run
arbitrary queries, just one very specific one. See
