Better Type/Resource Kind Awareness

Problem Statement

When I ask for suggestions in a given location
It would be helpful if these were constrained to appropriate possibilities

e.g.

Here we are in an array that only accepts vpc security group IDs

The first suggestion here is a route table, which has no attributes which are appropriate as a value in this array.

There's only one security group in this configuration, and there's an obvious single attribute of this resource that is appropriate. Maximum efficiency would be promoted by listing first, resource attributes that can contain appropriate values for this location.

This obviously requires a greatly expanded set of metadata on not just what basic datatype things have (this is a string / I accept a string) but what "kind" of thing they are (I am a security group ID / I am suppose to receive a security group ID), and it's all quite provider specific. But would represent a significant improvement.
