[core] Same stack names in different accounts

I would like to deploy the same stack name to two different accounts

Use Case

It makes more sense to me than trying to make stack names unique org-wide. Also, I have stacks already deployed to multiple accounts that I would like to move into CDK.

Proposed Solution

I would be ok if the logical name of the stack is unique org wide and still generated separate template files, but the manifest file could define the stack name:

    "my-cross-account-stack-dev": {
      "type": "aws:cloudformation:stack",
      "environment": "aws://dev-account-id/unknown-region",
      "stackName": "my-cross-account-stack",
      "properties": {
        "templateFile": "my-cross-account-stack-dev.template.json"
      },

Other

I read through this issue https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/issues/3401 and this issue https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/issues/3322 and ultimately that would be the goal. I would like to be able to seamlessly deploy across multiple accounts with the cli.

The CDK does support stackName as a stack property:

new MyStack(app, 'StackId', {
  env: {
    account: '',
    region: 'us-west-1'
  },
  stackName: 'CoolStack'
})

I added looked up that feature flag and added it to my cdk.json and this does work now. Thank you for pointing me to it.
