Description
Use case description
We are using the ssm functionality to access secrets in the local account but would also like to access aws secrets manager keys in another account.
This can be done using aws cli/sdk directly by arn i.e. arn:aws:secretsmanager:REGION:SECRET_ACCOUNT_ID㊙️SECRET_ID but not by ssm syntax.

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing the existing SSM syntax and AWS provider integration, then compare how Secrets Manager ARNs are handled. Done means the syntax can retrieve a secret from another account and the behavior is covered by relevant tests.
