Description
In customer talks, it's become clear that our "view type definition" feature is not discoverable. I don't think it makes sense for someone to hover over the symbolic name (e.g ucheLikesStorage) in order to be given a link to View Type Documentation.
Current behavior

Proposed:
Instead, I would like for us to create this hover functionality if they hover over a RESOURCE name (e.g 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts@2021-02-01')
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the existing "View Type Documentation" hover behavior for symbolic names and the hover handling for resource names such as Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts@2021-02-01. Trace how the resource definition is identified and determine where the documentation link is produced. Done means hovering the actual resource name exposes the documentation action instead of requiring a hover over the symbolic name.
