Click-to-documentation on terraform registry

[nfx]

I'm working with tf files a lot and i'd like to click-to-open-in-browser on resource names and resource properties. Terraform registry is having all standard URL format for resource names and property names (just #property_name anchors) and it should probably be not that hard to implement it. Would save tons of people tons of time.

@cgriggs01 @aeschright this might be interesting bump for Terraform adoption - i see a lot of people sharing screen with VSCode and this extension installed. This might simplify the user journey.

this extension does exactly that, maybe the code could be included;

well, i'm requesting it to be baked into official extension, because using code from unverified developers has its own risks 🤷‍♂️

Hi folks! I'm glad to see your support for this feature. We're implementing it on the language server side so I'm going to transfer the issue over there, but you'll see the first part of it in this week's terraform-ls release with this PR: #402

Hi folks,
I have just released language server 0.14.0 which introduces initial support for docs links to providers as per #402

We don't have predictable deeplinks for resource or data source docs pages yet, but this feature is tracked under #190

With that in mind I'm going to close this issue.

The new release of LS should be automatically available on the next launch of your VS Code, assuming you use our official Terraform extension.

@radeksimko - but can we have this on the editor level?.. as "lens"?
