[csswg-drafts] [css-contain] Reference named containers for cq units (#7858)

una has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-contain] Reference named containers for cq units ==
In the [[contain-level-3]](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-contain-3/) spec it is possible to name containers, referencing them in `@container`. It is also possible to use container query units. However, it seems like there is a gap (I might be missing it in the spec) for how to reference a named container when using cq units.

An author might want to specify the container they are referencing when using the cq units. Using `container-name` wouldn't work, since it would set the name. Would it be possible to add a "container-reference"-type-property (name TBD) that can be accessed within an CSS declaration?

I.e. for illustration:

```css
.meta p {
  container-reference: card;
  font-size: clamp(1rem, 10cqi, 2rem);
}
```
