When we attempt to connect to a database server or endpoint, we get the Connection Error dialog. It is a large window with error message at the top and lot of blank white space in the bottom half.

Can we provide Connection error troubleshooting links so the user can look up steps to address the problem or error:
[Troubleshooting connectivity issues and other errors with Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL Managed Instance](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/troubleshoot-common-errors-issues?view=azuresql)
[Troubleshoot connectivity issues in SQL Server](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/sql/database-engine/connect/resolve-connectivity-errors-overview)
[Connect to a SQL Server virtual machine on Azure](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/virtual-machines/windows/ways-to-connect-to-sql)
We are planning to make improvements to the dialog in future releases, and will keep this request into consideration to improve user experience with diagnostics.
