Describe the feature

See related ticket: #7295

We would like a lookup function so we can fetch an RDS Database Instance reference by id, similar to other constructs.

Use Case

Currently, we need to provide many things (instanceIdentifier, instanceEndpointAddress, port, securityGroups) in order to use an existing RDS Database Instance in the stack. This is "untenable" as hard-coding them is not a good idea.

Proposed Solution

Add a lookup, e.g.:

const dbInstance = DatabaseInstance.fromLookup(stack, "DbInstance", { databaseIdentifier: "my-db-instance" });
