Can I create a release to a public repo from a private repo

[xhliu]

There are owner & repo parameters. Can they be used to create a release to a different repo from where the action runs from? Say I have a public repo A and a private one B. Github action runs in B and release is in A.

      - name: Create Release
        id: create_release
        uses: actions/create-release@v1
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.PAT }} # A personal access token from issue #103 
        with:
          tag_name: ${{ github.ref }}
          release_name: Release ${{ github.ref }}
          draft: false
          prerelease: false
          owner: ownerA
          repo: A

yields error
Error: Validation Failed: {"resource":"Release","code":"custom","field":"tag_name","message":"tag_name is not a valid tag"}, {"resource":"Release","code":"custom","message":"Published releases must have a valid tag"}, {"resource":"Release","code":"invalid","field":"target_commitish"}
