Is there a straightforward way to transplant an existing resource to a new provider

For background I currently use a single root provider for an entire stack in a multi AWS account environment but want to make it explicit that these resources are being executed in our app environment so that we can move to using a less permissioned primary principal for actually executing pulumi querying S3 for state etc

currently recommended way is to you ComponentResource and set provder there then all children automatically inherit it

you dont need to as long as each individual Pulumi resource name stays the same nothing gets changed
