    I found myself with the same issue.
    The only solution I came with is to use an IMGUIContainer to draw this specific type of field.

    Code (CSharp):
    1.  
    2. class AddressableField : VisualElement
    3. {
    4.     SerializedProperty m_serializedProperty = null;
    5.     public SerializedProperty serializedProperty
    6.     {
    7.         get { return m_serializedProperty; }
    8.         set { m_serializedProperty = value; }
    9.     }
    10.     IMGUIContainer m_container = null;
    11.  
    12.     public AddressableField()
    13.     {
    14.         m_container = new IMGUIContainer();
    15.         m_container.onGUIHandler += OnGUI;
    16.         m_container.style.flexGrow = 1.0f;
    17.         Add(m_container);
    18.     }
    19.  
    20.     void OnGUI()
    21.     {
    22.         if (m_serializedProperty != null)
    23.         {
    24.             EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(m_serializedProperty);
    25.         }
    26.     }
    27.  
    28.     public new class UxmlFactory : UxmlFactory<AddressableField> { }
    29. }
    30.  
    I use this AddressableField in uxml, and in c#, i pass the serialized property.
    I hope Unity will come with their version of this type of field.
