Integrate Storage with DataStore

[amuresia]

I have a use case where I create users via DataStore and I want to store their avatars in S3.

I would like a secure solution for retrieving a .protected avatar so that other users of the applications can see it.

At the moment I am using something like this:

type User
@model
{
  id: ID!
  picture: Picture!
}

type Picture @model {
  identityId: String!
  fileName: String!
}

As you can see, I store identityId in the object so that Storage.download can retrieve it from S3.

We will provide a code sample that shows how we can accomplish this in the absence of baked-in support.
