Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I need the collector receiver to authenticate against a local endpoint, passing it the bearer token. The extension only supports authenticating against a static token.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to be able to do something like this image And the token from the otlp receiver will be passed in the Authorization header.

Describe alternatives you've considered

This is a string interpolation in our config. I believe this is supported in general in the yaml with expressions such as ${env:ACCESS_TOKEN}. See https://opentelemetry.io/docs/collector/configuration/#environment-variables
