Trigger an action within Jenkins declarative pipeline right after a stage ends or just before a stage begins?

I have the following Jenkinsfile:
pipeline {
agent any
environment { }
stages {
stage('stageA') {
steps {
... Do something with arg1, arg2 or arg3
}
}
stage('stageB') {
steps {
... Do something with arg1, arg2 or arg3
}
}
...
}
}
Is there anywhere I can specify a universal "pre-stage" or "post-stage" set of actions to perform? A use-case would be sending logging information at the end of a stage to a log manager, but it would be preferable to not copy and paste those invocations at the end of each and every stage.

As far as I know there is no generic post- or pre-stage hook in Jenkins pipelines. You can define post steps in a post section but you need one per stage.
However, if you don't want to repeat yourself, you have some options.
Use a shared lib
The place to put repeating code to it a shared library. That way allows you to declare your own steps using Groovy.
You need another repository to define a shared lib, but apart from that it is a pretty strait forward way and you can reuse the code in all of your Jenkins' pipelines.
Use a function
If you declare a function outside of the pipeline, you can call it from any stage. This is not really documented and might be prevented in the future. As far as I understand it messes with the coordination between master and agents. However, it works:
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage ("First") {
steps {
writeFile file: "resultFirst.txt", text: "all good"
}
post {
always {
cleanup "first"
}
}
}
stage ("Second") {
steps {
writeFile file: "resultSecond.txt", text: "all good as well"
}
post {
always {
cleanup "second"
}
}
}
post {
always {
cleanup "global" // this is only triggered after all stages, not after every
}
}
}
}
void cleanup(String stage) {
echo "cleanup ${stage}"
archiveArtifacts artifacts: "result*"
}

Are you aware of any plugins which may offer solutions to this feature request?

No, I'm not. I guess it is not impossible but I wouldn't know how to declare it in the pipeline for it needs to be outside of the stages. Most plugins I know define additional steps, which can be used in a stage, the environment or that alike.
