Describe the problem you'd like to have solved

I was creating an internal module for the the actions triggers (https://registry.terraform.io/providers/auth0/auth0/latest/docs/resources/trigger_actions)

I noticed that you have the id of the action. I would like to be able to specify the name of the action instead of the actual id. The main reason I bring this up is that the id is pretty useless to a human AND there is no way to actually see the action id in the console. I have to drop to the CLI or do an export to see the action id.

What I am proposing is that I want to be able to specify the name of the action that was used when it was created and be able to do a deployment with that instead of the id. Or at least I think it could be an either or situation. Where name OR id has to be specified when doing the deployment.

Describe the ideal solution

Ideally when I am specifying the Terraform I would like to be able to do something like this:

Terraform

resource "auth0_trigger_actions" "login_flow" {
  trigger = var.trigger_type

  dynamic "actions" {
    for_each = var.actions
    content {
      name         = actions.value.name
      display_name = actions.value.display_name
    }
  }
}

TFVars

trigger_type = "post-login"

  actions = [
    {
      name = "SuperAwesomeAction",
      display_name = "Create a new session",
    }
  ]

Whereas today I have to specify this instead.

trigger_type = "post-login"

  actions = [
    {
      id = "aa06a9ed-0b3c-4b7c-9bad-94b190c8389b",
      display_name = "Create a new session",
    }
  ]

Alternatives and current workarounds

Not sure if adding a data resource to look up an action via its name to pull back its id might be something that would work as well, but that might be an alternative.
