Can you access the output of a resource from another stack? Or only stack outputs?

e.g. we have a `gcp:storage/bucket:Bucket` created in an `infra` stack and want to access its name in another stack. In the `infra` stack’s JSON representation, I see that resource has a series of outputs including a `name` field. Can that be accessed programmatically?

you can always export the output of the given resource :slightly_smiling_face:

So to answer your question more directly - AFAIK you can only access stack outputs from another stack but as I said above, it’s not a problem to export additional values from created resources.

if you need more help, paste the code snippet where you create a bucket or at least tell us what programming lang you use :wink:

Sorry, just saw your response! Yeah, we use stack outputs for now. However, it’s duplicative — especially for component resources where we end up having to produce outputs both on the component resource and on the stack.
