Hi Piotr! Fancy seeing you here! Normally, you’d pass an ID so the chain of dependencies is very clear. This is also how most Pulumi objects would do it. Can you let me know why you would want to pass the entire object?

Hi <@U04N6GA0UKU>. Lets say my `Bar` Resource needs 3 parameters related to `Foo` resource.

Then I think it will be more user friendly to write:
```Bar(
    name="my_resource_name",
    foo_object=foo_resource,
)```
rather than
```Bar(
    name="my_resource_name",
    foo_input_1=foo_resource.foo_out_1,
    foo_input_2=foo_resource.foo_out_2,
    foo_input_3=foo_resource.foo_out_3,
)```

Maybe I am wrong and this is an anti pattern?

What are a good practices here?
