following this as I'm doing a very similar thing

<@U03JVKL7683> you can reference the entire object schema like so:

<https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-component-provider-py-boilerplate/blob/main/schema.json#L17>

That'll also work for an output

Thanks! I can get the properties and outputs working by referencing that entire object since i’m returning the entire bucket. But i’m not sure how to configure the inputs since it should accept the same S3 bucket args as the pulumi-aws resource

ohhhhh sorry I see now, perhaps try doing the reverse, I've using the `$ref` as an input in the input properties

I've never tried this, so not sure how it works

```"inputProperties": {
        "parameters": {
          "$ref": "/aws/v4.0.0/schema.json#/resources/aws:s3%2Fbucket:Bucket",
          "description": "parameters to create an s3 bucket"
        }
      },```

so the problem with that is there’s the “parameters” input that encapsulates all the actual s3 inputs, i was hoping to have this exploded somehow - where the sdk can accept the same list of inputs as an external resource

that's not possible, but please open an issue - its a good feature request
