Description
### Description
Do the same thing with external Airflow instances.
### Use case/motivation
I would like to use TriggerDagRunOperator & ExternalTaskSensor, or new objects, that behave the same but target a different Airflow instance.
### Related issues
This issue is partly covered in https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/39463
I am considering solving it by using the Airflow API as mentioned in 39463

Research direction
Start by reading the existing TriggerDagRunOperator and ExternalTaskSensor behavior, then review related issue 39463 and its Airflow API discussion. Define how equivalent objects would target a separate Airflow instance and verify that triggering and sensing work across instances; the issue does not name specific files or tests.
