Incorrect links to `typing.Container` rather than `azure.mgmt.containerinstance.models.container`

Type of issue

Typo

Description

Looking at the docs for the Azure SDK for Python, describing the fields in a azure.mgmt.containerinstance.models.containergroup.

One of these fields is containers, with type list[Container]. This is rendered with generated links as list[Container], with the Container link pointing to the (generic, deprecated) typing.Container type on docs.python.org (https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#typing.Container). The real type is azure.mgmt.containerinstance.models.container, and the link should point here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/python/api/azure-mgmt-containerinstance/azure.mgmt.containerinstance.models.container?view=azure-python.

I assume this is true of other types which have name collisions with other built-in/std lib types, though I haven't found any specific examples.

Hi @eddyashton, I'm an AI Support assistant here to help with your issue. While the Azure SDK team reviews your request, I wanted to provide some possible tips and documentation that might help you in the meantime.

• The Container type link in the ContainerGroup docs (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/python/api/azure-mgmt-containerinstance/azure.mgmt.containerinstance.models.containergroup?view=azure-python) currently points to the generic deprecated typing.Container instead of the intended model at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/python/api/azure-mgmt-containerinstance/azure.mgmt.containerinstance.models.container?view=azure-python.
• The documentation generator is treating type names that collide with built-in or std lib types in a generic manner. An update to the link mapping in the doc generator to explicitly reference the model for Container should resolve this.
• Similar issues might exist for other models with conflicting type names; verifying the link generation in these cases should ensure that the correct API documentation is referenced.

The Azure SDK team will respond to your issue shortly. I hope these suggestions are helpful in the meantime. If this comment helped you, please give it a 👍. If the suggestion was not helpful or incorrect, please give it a 👎. Your feedback helps us improve!
