How do I simply refer to an instance in terraform?

Consider the following resource:

resource "type" "myspecialresource"
{
   for_each = toset(["some thing", "some other thing"])
}

What do I need to add to this resource to be able to refer to it by string later on?

So, for example, I know to reference the second instance of this resource later on I can do:

type.myspecialresource[1], but I'd like to reference it like so instead:

type.myspecialresource["some thing"]

type.myspecialresource["some thing"] that's how it will work. type.myspecialresource[1] is for when you use count. Since you are using for_each, you have to use type.myspecialresource["some thing"].
