garden wire or graden stakes, if long enough. Don't forget to anchor the base of trunk to opposite side the plant is bent toward. In the picture you provide, 'to the left'
more branches is not necessarily better. you really don't need more than 3 colas per sq ft to maximize yield. some genetic variance to what is best, of course.
So, work backward from a canopy you want to fill the space and get there in a systematic way - whehther training or toppig doesn't matter. If you have a goal, you'll be more efficient with time/effort getting there.

HI garden staples You can also use garden ties, like for tomatoes, wrapping a part around the pot and thus fixing it. But garden staples will be practical for fixing the lower branches that grow closer to the ground, and for the upper ones, ropes for tying up tomatoes are ideal.

I found plant yoyo's to be adequate, just need an anchor point.

bury sticks or place a net/mesh around the pot then tie it down onto the net/mesh. Think like a ground level SCROG.
I've done things like this but with a string around the edge of the pot making a ring, and then tieing other string to that ring aorund the pot and LST'ing them down. worked out just fine. Helps if the pot has a bit of a lip or is tappered so the string can't pop off its edge.
