Spatialpandas: DaskDataFrame to DaskGeoDataFrame

The spatialpandas github links to this forum for spatialpandas-related questions. However, there is no spatialpandas category, so I am not sure I am posting this correctly.

In spatialpandas, dd.from_pandas() automatically creates a DaskGeoDataFrame from a GeoDataFrame. What if I have a DaskDataFrame with point data as coordinates and would like to create a DaskGeoDataFrame without having to load the data in memory? If this is not yet possible, can you think of a good way to implement this functionality? Thanks!

Seems to defeat the purpose of using Dask if forced to go back to pandas/geopandas. Is there any way to directly convert a dask DataFrame to DaskGeoDataFrame.

Thanks for you help!
