Description

### Name of the resource

AWS::CloudWatch::Dashboard

### Description

Currently `AWS::CloudWatch::Dashboard` only supports `Ref` to get the `DashboardName`. Implementing this would be great.

Research direction

Start with the AWS::CloudWatch::Dashboard documentation linked in the issue and compare its current Ref behavior with the documented GetAtt requirements. Trace where this resource's attribute support is implemented in the relevant CloudFormation provider code; done means DashboardName can be retrieved through GetAtt, with coverage for that behavior.
