Hi all,

Is it possible in the Serverless template for ApiGateways to reference lambdas which are outside of the stack to handle events? So when the gateway is hit and the authorization has taken place, then the event for the specific endpoint is handled by a reference to a lambda in a different stack?

Thanks!
