Reference another file for request schema

Serverless Framework
1

Hey :wave:

Wondering if you can help please. I’d like to specify a request schema which references another json schema for example:

{
  "$id": "mySchema",
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "footer": {
      "type": "array",
      "items": {
        "$ref": "reference another json file/model somehow??"
      }
    }
  }
}

In $ref I’l like to reference another json schema file or another model which I have already registered with serverless

Currently, the only way I could see to do this is using definitions, but the issue with that is definitions need to live in the same json schema file, whereas I’d like to point to another file all together

I could not find an example of how to do this on the documentation page: https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/events/apigateway/#request-schema-validators
