Is this the right way to go about it?

```stack_name = 'jan/proj/core'
class MyZone(BaseModel):
    zone_id: str
    force_destroy: bool


async def fun():
    ref_zone = pulumi.StackReference(stack_name)
    print('lol')
    result = await ref_zone.outputs.future()
    print(result)
    my_zone = MyZone.parse_obj(result['my_zone'])
    print(my_zone)

   # ... contiune creating my resources here

loop = asyncio.get_running_loop()
loop.create_task(fun())```
<@UCWG26BH7> maybe you'd know?

no I don't think it's going to work because it's not known at runtime

Does something like this work?
```def create_ref_zone_pd(ref_zone):
    return MyZone(**ref_zone)

my_zone_pd = ref_zone.require_output.apply(create_ref_zone_pd)```


<@U01038HJ93R> Hmm this would basically put me in the bucket of creating resources inside `apply`
because anything coming out of `apply` is an Output

so I cannot use `my_zone_pd.zone_id`

Do you mean you can’t use `my_zone_pd.zone_id` as an input to another resource?

Because you can use an `Output` as an `Input` (since `Input` is the union of `Output[T]` and `T` )

The problem with that is that I do get an Output not a convenient object I created

This worked, but I do not know enough about async to say why it worked
```async def fun():
    ref_zone = pulumi.StackReference(stack_name)
    print('lol')
    result = await ref_zone.outputs.future()
    print(result)
    my_zone = MyZone.parse_obj(result['my_zone'])
    print(my_zone)
    ec2.SecurityGroup(
        f"mhh{my_zone.zone_id}"
    )

loop = asyncio.get_running_loop()
loop.create_task(fun())```
