Description

It would be really helpful for IntelliSense to understand what file type I want to import based on the language I am writing in. For example, when using the <link rel="stylesheet" href=""> tag, IntelliSense should narrow the autocomplete suggestions down to the CSS files in my project to use in the href field. If filtering isn't a good solution, putting all appropriate (in this case CSS) files on top of the suggestion list would be a really nice feature.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the HTML language service in VSCode to find where href suggestions are generated. Look at how file types are used in autocomplete and implement filtering by file type based on the link's rel attribute.
