Hey folks.  I need to narrow down the name for one of the parameters on the 
Deadline Alerts work and I'm fishing for suggestions.

TLDR:    need_by_date = {some existing timestamp} + {a user-defined timedelta}

The existing timestamp could be dynamic (like when the dagrun is queued or when 
a specific task stars, etc), or fixed datetime.

So in practice this will look something like:

need_by = DeadlineTrigger.DAGRUN_QUEUED + timedelta(hours=1)

where the DeadlineTrigger is the part we are trying to rename.

I initially used Anchor in the AIP for lack of a better name and it was 
universally hated.  I like Trigger better, but that name is already overloaded 
in Airflow so I don't want to reuse it.  Maybe Reference?

need_by = DeadlineReference.DAGRUN_STARTED + timedelta(minutes=30?

Please throw some other suggestions or naming thoughts on the pile and maybe we 
can come up with something good.
