How do I associate a lookup with all channels of a custom advanced (EXEXML) sensor without having to manually go to the page of each channel and selecting the value lookup?

You can also specify the lookup in the xml structure like in this example:
<prtg>
<result>
<Channel>Channel 1</Channel>
<Value>1</Value>
<ValueLookup>prtg.standardlookups.offon.stateonok</ValueLookup>
</result>
<Text>Text example</Text>
</prtg>
This will only work for new sensors and you will not be able to update existing sensors with it. If you want to update an existing sensor, you need to use multiedit, as Andreas Heidrich already described.

Please use the feature Multi-Edit. https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg/multi_edit_lists.htm
Select the Device, select the respective EXEXML Sensor(s) you´d like to change, click on the wrench symbol and in the upcoming dialog select the "Channel Settings" tab. By selecting the respective Channel you can choose which Value Lookup you´d like to see for all Channels included in your Multi-Edit.

Multiedit is working, if you want to edit the same channel in a set of sensors. It will no (yet) work to edit the settings of a bunch of channels in one sensor.
The Xml-Tag is quite new, because the whole lookup feature is quite new. We will check our documentation and see, if it was added correctly.
