How to extend information of an AD User with a custom pattern

[Gianluca Galletta]

Hello, I'm trying to build a custom pattern to extend some AD User information.
I found there is a property called "Extended Information" that can be used to extend data.
So I built a custom pattern that uses a query to retrieve all attributes from an AD User
(Get-ADUser -Filter * -Properties *).

My question is:
How can I extend a User (object) information at code level?
I only succeded extending the host info.
Here is my code:
