Description

To allow preserving paths and generated identities when refactoring construct trees, we propose to introduce construct.node.relocate(path) which will allow specifying the root path for a scope and all its children.

For example, if I have a set of stacks in production which I want to bundle into a new Stage type so that I can deploy them through CDK Pipelines and deploy them without replacement of resources, I would use relocate() to ensure that all paths and unique IDs are preserved as I refactor my code.
