Headline:
Add Outputs and Runtime Info to CloudFormation App Blueprints
Description:
When deploying a CloudFormation Instance Type that uses Spec Templates, the Outputs, Parameters, etc. are available in the Runtime tab. Specifically, the Outputs are very valuable as attributes from the resources deployed or just computed attributes based on the deployment, as they can be important for automation that rely on this information.
CloudFormation App Blueprints do not expose this information, either via the GUI or API. Having the same functionality between the two would be helpful.

"Outputs": {
"VPCPeeringConnectionId": {
