Create own states in Captivate 8?

Hi everyone!

Is it possible to create your own states (and change them) in CP8 as in Storyline 2?

Can't really find something searching on the internet except changing object state, but it looks like you can't create your own.

What can I do to create an object from. e.g happy ->sad when clicking on something? Is working with variables the way to go?

Thanks in advance!
