Description

While reviewing the report I find myself going back and forth between the AWS console and the report itself. For many findings this might get annoying.

It would be nice if the report would have links to the AWS console section associated with the finding. For example a finding related to a security group in ap-northeast-2 should include a link to:

https://ap-northeast-2.console.aws.amazon.com/vpc/home?region=ap-northeast-2#securityGroups:

So that the user can click on that and review it easily.

If the AWS console supports URLs with filters (for example to shown only one of the security groups) that should also be included in the link.

Research direction
Examine the report generation module in ScoutSuite to understand how findings are formatted. Look for existing code that constructs URLs for other providers. The issue suggests adding AWS console links with region specific base URLs (e.g., https://<region>.console.aws.amazon.com/vpc/home?region=<region>#securityGroups:). Determine if the AWS console supports filtering to a specific resource ID and implement the link accordingly in the report output.
