Description
It would be great if there would be a place on the .NET API Browser article page, containing list of correlated articles from Microsoft Docs which are somehow (maybe even loosely) related to the given .NET API Browser article.
The Recommended Content section that is currently there, seems to always recommend articles from .NET API Browser.
For example, on the .NET API Browser article page about the `IdentityBuilder.AddTokenProvider Method`:
[IdentityBuilder.AddTokenProvider Method](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.aspnetcore.identity.identitybuilder.addtokenprovider?view=aspnetcore-7.0)
These articles could be recommended:
- [Multi-factor authentication in ASP.NET Core](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/authentication/mfa?view=aspnetcore-7.0)
- [Enable QR code generation for TOTP authenticator apps in ASP.NET Core](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/authentication/identity-enable-qrcodes?view=aspnetcore-7.0)
And maybe even links to stackoverflow.
Reasons:
It would be very useful for people who are actively looking through the source code to better utilise the existing code and they would like to learn more about a method/class/property and where it can be used.
.NET API Browser is very well positioned in search engines, very often it is a first search result that people see if they did not provide a complete question (for example, due to a vocabulary limitation, or maybe they didn't know yet what question to ask, or due to other reasons).
