Adding navigation properties to IdentityUser

Using the ABP Suite, I am trying to add a navigation property to the IdentityUser class. In my case, I want to add a State entity as part of adding address properties to the IdentityUser. I have added several extended properties to the IdentityUser at this point, but I'm kind of scratching my head on this one. I could go in and add the State by hand, but that would not generate the UI controls. Does anyone have a method for doing this?

You can add property by using Object Extensions and set them as navigation properties by adding other entity Id as foreign key.

Associate a department to a user from docs:

ObjectExtensionManager.Instance.Modules()
    .ConfigureIdentity(identity =>
    {
        identity.ConfigureUser(user =>
        {
            user.AddOrUpdateProperty<Guid>(
                "DepartmentId",
                property =>
                {
                    property.UI.Lookup.Url = "/api/departments";
                    property.UI.Lookup.DisplayPropertyName = "name";
                }
            );
        });
    });

And the "/api/departments" endpoint:

[Route("api/departments")]
public class DepartmentController : AbpController
{
    [HttpGet]
    public async Task<ListResultDto<DepartmentDto>> GetAsync()
    {
        ...
    }
}
