For a self-hosted backend (azure blob in this scenario), is it possible for a stack reference to access a different blob container and/or storage account for it's state? I'm thinking of "container" as "project" in comparison to the pulumi hosted state scenario, but obviously the syntax doesn't map across.

As far as I know, you cannot use stack references across backends, so if you had two different Azure Blobs as backends for your projects, they could not reference each other.

that's... disappointing 😕
