How to "allow" 3rd party apps in Ventura 13.0?

I'm trying to play Bluestacks games on my iMac, on which I recently installed OS 13.0 Ventura. On starting the game now, I'm asked to accept extensions in System Settings. However in the System Settings > Security section, I see only 2 choices for "Allow applications downloaded from":

  1. App Store
  2. App Store and identified developers


In previous OS versions, an extra option to "Allow" or "open anyway" would appear if the app I want to run does not meet these requirement. But with Ventura this extra option doesn't appear.


How do I solve this problem?

iMac, OS X 10.11
