Specifically, we are talking about the Thinkpad T460, and not specifically about similar devices with their strange connector.
I looked for a pinout, but didn't find it. What is taken out there? Is there a pci bus?
Or just power, usb and audio/video?
Purpose: without picking the laptop itself (picking the docking station) connect an external video card.

PCI is not displayed.
To connect an external video card, you need a pcie, and it is in the thunderbolt 3 connector, which is not here

This document is circulating all over the Internet: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZUEjq6jivbS5rVZ2C...
There is the 60th Docking Connector page. Similar?
And yes, PCI is not there.

On Thinkpads, this is solved, depending on the year of manufacture, in one of two ways:
1) through an adapter in ExpressCard - because. this is PCI-Ex1 and it is, it is converted by a passive adapter
2) via thunderbolt (because it is PCI-Express itself)
