How do you implement custom foreign keys in Magento?

Answer: To implement custom foreign keys in Magento, you generally follow these steps:

1. Create a Setup Script: Create a new setup script or update an existing one within your module’s `Setup` directory.

2. Define the Foreign Key: Use the `addForeignKey()` method of the `table` object in the `install()` or `upgrade()` script to define the foreign key relationship. Specify the local column, the referenced table, and the referenced column.

3. Run the Upgrade Script: After adding your foreign key definition, run the setup upgrade command to execute the script and apply the changes to the database.

4. Verify the Foreign Key: Check the database to ensure that the foreign key constraint is correctly added.

Remember to clear cache and reindex if necessary after making changes to your module.
