Can you give an example of what you'd like to have happen?

Outputs have a full list of dependencies built in (that's what's special about them compared to promises). Let's figure out how to get your dependency into the output.

```resource1 := NewResource(...)
output2 := resource1.output1.ApplyT(func(s) bool { 
    // make API calls to external service
    return true
  }
resource2 := NewResource(..., pulumi.DependsOn(output2))
                                                ^ arg requires pulumi.Resource```

that's the pseudocode for what I'd like to do

<@U012UJTT55M> sorry to resurrect a week old thread.  any ideas here?

Any reason that you can't depend on resource1?

Also, I would write that without the explicit dependency, and put it all inline, with the resource2 constructor having the apply directly in it. I don't know if having the dependency directly on the property works differently that having it on the entire resource, but it's worth trying.

I know that they're represented differently in the state file. Maybe that would resolve the problem.

resource2 constructor is not something I control.  But yeah I'll see if I can get creative
