Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
The provider explorer "resources.azure.com" currently only provide generation of Ansible Playbooks to "consume" ARM Providers. It would be great to be able to create Bicep/ARM Templates directly as well, as a lot of customers struggle building the actual templates as they don't know what the provider actually supports.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
Currently resources.azure.com only generates Ansible Playbooks, but this would be great if ARM/Bicep could be selected here to get code generated to call the particular provider/operation as seen in the screenshot:

It's not directly related to Bicep itself, but not aware if/where we have a repo for the Resources Explorer. So hope you can coordinate further, as discussed in the Bicep Community Call.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the resources.azure.com provider explorer and its existing Ansible Playbook generation flow. Trace how provider operations are represented, then determine how a selectable Bicep/ARM template output should cover those operations and how the generated templates would be validated.
