Hi, I need to get the name of a resource in Pulumi, in order to generate another resource name based on it. I figure I can also get this from the URN, but I can't find a way to get the name or the URN. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Answering myself, `resource.urn` works, but it can't be used as the resource name of another resource, since it's an Output and resource names require strings.

... but I can use a get function to get the resource attributes as a string, which works for me

Does the resource not have a name property you can use?
