(PolicyVariableResolver): [Question] Is it possible to use or implement Thing Attributes in policies?

Feature Description Would it be possible to use or implement the use of Thing Attributes as policy variables?

Example: {iot:Connection.Thing.Attributes[SomeAttribute]}

I think right now only {iot:ThingName} is possible.

Use Case

We have following setup in place:

LocalDevices -> CoreDevie ( EMQX and MQTT Bridge in place) -> IoTCore

In coredevice's policy we use variables to restrict topics to coredevies attributes e.g. arn:aws:iot:eu-central-1:123456789012:topic/cfg/${iot:Connection.Thing.Attributes[id]}/info/*

Right now we can restrict topics at client device auth component with wildcards which is ok if localDevice sends to a topic that is totally wrong but not if it used the wrong id inside the right topic. So if this is the case the policy will only be evaluated at IoT Core level and only coredevice will get notified that this topic is not allowed.

Better would be if we could use the attribute as policy variable in the client device auth config and so the local device gets blocked there and notified that the topic is not allowd.

Hope you understand my use case.
