You configure app A at foo_com and app B at bar_com. Then both need a shared secret. You generate and insert both with abra app foo_com secret insert ... and abra app bar_com secret insert ... but what if we could share a common secret across the two apps? It's already possible, you can reference a shared_smtp_secret_v1 between both apps if you reference this in your configuration by name. We could have a abra servers secret ... interface for creating these? Unsure. Also, not sure how we can reference these shared secrets when there are already secrets referenced in existing configuration that are not shared. You might already have a ${STACK_NAME}_smtp_pass_${SMTP_PASS_VERSION} in a recipe config? I think those were the thoughts! /cc @moritz

@3wordchant and myself ran into another group (WASHNote) needing this. They have to deploy several instances of the same app and need a shared client secret for SSO. Would greatly simplify the deployment if we can get a convention going for this technique.
