> [!Warning]
> Please note the `Reference.Type` field will be deprecated soon, use
`Reference.TerraformName` instead. `TerraformName` is a more stable and
less error prone API compared to `Type` because it automatically accounts
for the configuration changes affecting the cross-resource reference target's
kind name, group or version.

For a resource that we want to generate, we need to check its argument list in
Terraform documentation and figure out which field needs reference to which
resource.

func Configure(p *config.Provider) {
p.AddResourceConfigurator("aws_iam_access_key", func (r *config.Resource) {
r.References["user"] = config.Reference{
Type: "User",
TerraformName: "aws_iam_user",
}
})
}
```

Please note the value of `Type` field needs to be a string representing the Go
type of the resource. Since, `AccessKey` and `User` resources are under the same
go package, we don't need to provide the package path. However, this is not
always the case and referenced resources might be in different package. In that
case, we would need to provide the full path. Referencing to a [kms key] from
`aws_ebs_volume` resource is a good example here:
`TerraformName` is the name of the Terraform resource, such as
`aws_iam_user`. Because `TerraformName` uniquely identifies a
Terraform resource, it remains the same when the referenced and
referencing resources are in different groups. A good example is
referencing a [kms key] from `aws_ebs_volume` resource:

```go
func Configure(p *config.Provider) {
p.AddResourceConfigurator("aws_ebs_volume", func(r *config.Resource) {
r.References["kms_key_id"] = config.Reference{
Type: "github.com/crossplane-contrib/provider-tf-aws/apis/kms/v1alpha1.Key",
TerraformName: "aws_kms_key",
}
})
