### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe:

I want to dynamically enrich meta-tags on a React app without using SSR (Server-Side Rendering). Aside from meta-tags, we don't really need SSR, and to me, meta-tags alone are not a sufficient reason to start migrating to SSR. One potential solution is to use Lambda@Edge. However, I am unable to link that kind of function with the corresponding AWS Amplify CloudFront distributions unless they become transparent to us.

### Describe how you'd like this feature to work

I want the CloudFront distributions created by Amplify to be accessible, specifically in the context of Lambda@Edge functions. Currently, I am facing limitations in linking Lambda@Edge functions to the corresponding AWS Amplify CloudFront distributions. This means that I am unable to take full advantage of Lambda@Edge capabilities within the Amplify setup.
