There was something that purported to be a CP/M overlay linker/manager. I do not remember the name, but Elliam Associates had it listed in their catalog. Not sure if the linker or the vendor are still around (or, indeed, if it was other than vaporware).
If you can run on a Hitachi HD64180 / Zilog Z180, Turbo Modula-2 180 supported overlaid MCODE modules. Data was limited to available room in the main 64k bank, but code space was bounded only by available memory. I actually wrote a moderately serious control application that leveraged this feature. Problem for Apple 2 users is simple, the only Z180 based coprocessor was the CardZ180 project I worked on. We sold a whopping total of 15 units or so.
