There's no API for creating threads in ROS 2. The Executor class calls callbacks (if that's what you mean), and if you want a different threading model form SingleThreadedExecutor and MultiThreadedExecutor then you should make you're own executor, using one of those two as an example. They are fairly simple:

Then you can create an instance of your custom executor, add nodes to it, and then call spin on it.
