How to associate a phone number with a flow

Question

I have two resources in my CloudFormation template: flow and a phone number.
```yml
 ...

Flow:
    Type: AWS::Connect::ContactFlow
    Properties:
    ...
PhoneNumber:
    Type: AWS::Connect::PhoneNumber
    Properties:
      CountryCode: GB
      Type: DID
      TargetArn: !Ref AmzConnectInstance
      ...
```
How could I associate the phone number and the flow inside the template?

**Important: I am not asking how to associate from the dashboard or using `aws` command line or via API or via SDK, etc. Only using the CloudFormation.**

This can be achieved by using the CustomResource class to invoke a Lambda function. Use the Lambda function to make an API call using the AssociatePhoneNumberContactFlow API to associate a phone number with a flow.
