I am not sure if it is related to my question I want to reference a remote stack e g residing in a backend different than the current one and I see no way to specify a different backend to stackreference

let s say currently I use a stack from s3 backend and I want to reference a stack in google cloud

a quote from <https github com pulumi pulumi issues 2208> suggests that it is not possible gt StackReference currently can only work across stacks all managed by the same backend

It s not possible with `pulumi StackReference` but you can use the S3 SDK to retrieve the state and parse it yourself

unfortunately I need a generic way so probably the only option right now is to parse outputs of one pulumi stack and provide the result as input to another one
