Intellisense inside variables

[slavizh]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
This is far fetched scenario but it would be nice if you have created variable and you have assigned that variable to property on resource to inherit the parameters of that property on the variable.

var subnets = [
  {
    
  }
]

resource vnet 'Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks@2023-11-01' = {
  name: 'vnet'
  properties: {
    subnets: subnets
  }
}

Intellisense should show id, name. etc.

also it should work with lambda functions:

param mySubnets array

var subnets = map(mySubnets, subnet => {
  
})

resource vnet 'Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks@2023-11-01' = {
  name: 'vnet'
  properties: {
    subnets: subnets
  }
}

I'm not aware of other programming languages where types will flow back from a variable usage to variable declaration - to me it would be quite surprising to get property name completions in an untyped variable, and unfortunately complex to implement.

We plan to add typing to variables under #9364, which will allow something along the lines of the following (which would support property completions):

var foo <type> = [
]

Given the lack of precedence for this functionality, I'm going to mark this as closed.
