I've been able to extend amplify generated VTL resolvers, however, how would I go about assigning their "data source"?

In my use case, my vtl resolver is doing a batch write and returning a bunch of IDs, I'm then creating a postUpdate resolver that takes one of those IDs and does a GetItem with it. Up until now, I've had to manually go through the appsync UI to accomplish this each time I push to a new environment and it would be great to have way to do that in the code.

The solution proposed here aws-amplify/amplify-cli#9623 (comment), which involves using override.ts to manually set the value of models.{ModelName}.appsyncFunctions.{ResolverName}.dataSourceName solved this for me.
