[aws-certificatemanager] Add fromCertificateName method to Certificate object

There is currently a fromCertificateArn method on the Certificate object but the problem with using this is that the ARN could change if the resource is recreated leading to any stack referencing this ARN breaking. My proposal gives, I believe, a more robust way of referencing a certificate that would survive the recreation of this resource.

Use Case

In order to reference pre-existing certificates by their name

Proposed Solution

Create a fromCertificateName method on the Certificate object

Hi @heiba. We are unable to work on this immediately, and can’t provide an update on when we will be able to get to it.

We use 👍s to help prioritize our work, and are happy to revaluate this issue based on community feedback. You can reach out to the cdk.dev community on Slack to solicit support for reprioritization.

Ok, we can keep this open for a context lookup-based fromCertificateName, that either operates on Tags or the Domain Names. Either option would need to handle the cases where either no such names exist, or multiple records exist with the same names.
