Nlog: Database target: SUpport connectionStringName on .NET Core

[leonardder]

NLog version: 4.7.3
Platform: .NET Core 3

The Database target wiki page says about connectionStringName:

Not supported on NetCore as app.config has been replaced with appsettings.json

While this is true, connection strings are stored in the ConnectionStrings dictionary:

{
  "ConnectionStrings": {
    "SomeName": "Data Source=.;Initial Catalog=SomeDB;Persist Security Info=True;Integrated Security=true;"
  }
}

Wouldn't it be possible to support this by retrieving them from the configuration?

Yes, that's certainly a solution for me. However, may be the docs about connectionStringName should point at this alternative to get a connection string by name?

Good idea. The Wiki is open for editing
