Yeah, Garrison's book is a great overview of this topic.
The way I think about upper structure triads is to pair them with either the tonic triad or 4-note chord.
So if I have C7 I can think C + D, or C7 + D, or even C7 + D7 if I want.
For Cm7 i can think Cm + Dm, or Cm7 + Dm, or Cm7 + Dm7
For Cmaj7 I can think C + D, or Cmaj7 + D, or Cmaj7 + D7
