I want plugin to connect to other database rather than mautic default database.

How can I achieve it ？

I have modified the app/config/config.php file as below. It does not work.

```
> $container->loadFromExtension('doctrine', [
> 'dbal' => [
> 'default_connection' => 'default',
> 'connections'=>[
> 'default' => $dbalSettings,
> 'model_a' => $model_a,
> 
> ]
> ],
> 'orm' => [
> 'default_entity_manager' => 'default',
> 'entity_managers' => [
> 'default' => [
> 'connection' => 'default'
> ],
> 'model_a' => [
> 'connection' => 'model_a'
> ]
> ]
> ],
> ]);
```
