Should I have to be typecasting everything from a StackReference in TS? Here's an example:

const otherstack = new StackReference("org/project/stack");

export const network = otherstack.getOutput("network") as unknown as azure.network.VirtualNetwork
export const primaryProvider = otherstack.getOutput("primaryProvider") as unknown as azure.Provider
export const resourceGroup = otherstack.getOutput("resourceGroup") as unknown as azure.core.ResourceGroup

This is the only way I could get the TS to compile, but I'm also having difficulty using these (the provider doesn't work as a provider for creating a new k8s cluster for example) so I have a feeling I'm doing something wrong

I don't think you can get the full object, you'd need to get the id of the resource, then do a

.get()

on that

so I can't export a Provider from one stack to be used by another?
