All the stars and galaxies we can see (and those we can't see) are beyond the Oort Cloud.
If you mean are there any solar system objects beyond the Oort Cloud - scientists agree that the Oort Cloud is the outermost area of our sun's gravitational field that has any significant matter. Beyond the Cloud could be dust and gas, but they have not detected any sizable objects.

I assume you mean are there objects further than the oort cloud that would be considered part of our solar system. In that case, no. Obviously, the whole universe is beyond the oort cloud

The Oort cloud is theorized to extend as much as half way to the closest stars. That would mean anything farther away would be in the Oort cloud of another star.

Yes, but they are not part of our solar system, if this is what you mean--those would be other stars, for instance.
The Oort cloud is supposed to be the last collection of objects in our solar system before one is in interstellar space.

You mean, objects associated with our solar system?
The answer is no, but there are objects that USED to be part of our solar system that were ejected by either collisions or gravitational forces.

The simple answer is: yes, almost the entire universe.
