Automatic token exports can not be arrays

See original GitHub issue

Reproduction Steps

Add the following to your stack:

Fn.select(0, vpcEndpoint.vpcEndpointDnsEntries)

It generates the following which is incorrect since DnsEntries are a string

"ExportsOutputFnGetAttVPCVpcCloudAuthVpcEndpointA6A0016BDnsEntries65E2739D": {
  "Value": {
    "Fn::GetAtt": [
      "VPCVpcCloudAuthVpcEndpointA6A0016B",
      "DnsEntries"
    ]
  },
  "Export": {
    "Name": "Vpc:ExportsOutputFnGetAttVPCVpcCloudAuthVpcEndpointA6A0016BDnsEntries65E2739D"
  }
}

I have experience the same issue had had to create my own way around it (not ideal 😛)

@SomayaB and @rix0rrr you asked about example code, here it is (https://github.com/timpur/aws-cdk-issue-5897/blob/master/cdk.out/Stack1.template.json#L18).

Very basic stack but produces the issue. Seems the select happens in the consumer which is fine bout the generated output doesnt account for refs that are arrays of strings …

I imagine is something to do with this line (https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/blob/master/packages/%40aws-cdk/core/lib/private/refs.ts#L183)

Thanks. Hopes this helps

Would be ideal if the manual workaround wasn’t needed.
