-Notice the `image` field above. We use bracket notation to template the action name, whose outputs we want to reference: `${action.build["${parent.name}"].outputs.deployment-image-id}`. Here we're using that to get the built image ID of the `${parent.name}` Build in the same template.

 _Note that for a reference like this to work, that action also needs to be specified as a dependency._
