Description

Describe the feature

Add an attributes property or a getAttributes() or getAttribute(path: string) method to allow retrieval of the attributes when importing the construct using the fromAttributeGroupArn method.

Use Case

I have a bunch of attributes I want to share with multiple accounts but at the moment I have to use lots of SSM parameters for each account due to the way strings/lists/json is resolved I've tried various ways of doing it with Lazy and such but without luck. Having a way to share configuration objects from a centralized place would be great and this is the closest service i have seen to be able to do that cleanly.

Research direction
Examine the implementation of `fromAttributeGroupArn` in `aws servicecatalogappregistry alpha`. Review similar attribute retrieval patterns in other CDK construct libraries (e.g., `aws ssm` or `aws secretsmanager`). Consider adding a method that returns the attribute group's attributes as a map or string. Ensure consistency with existing CDK APIs to avoid breaking changes.
