[CoE Starter Kit - Feature]: Connection References and Environment variables should be fully featured

[rooobeert]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Hi all,

currently connection references and environment varibables are partially or not featured in the toolkit. As Microsoft is moving away from classic admin centers and we have to make due with the new "environment settings app", it would be great to incorparte some features from the classic version into the toolkit.

Thanks!

Describe the solution you'd like

As of now you can navigate to Connection References using a Flows related property. As they are quite an important part now and need changing in some cases (e.g. when a user leaves the company), they

1. Deserve their only Menu item in the Power Platform Admin View
2. DisplayNames should be the actual displays names, right now it only shows the connection service name and not the connections references actual name
3. Show the correct owner. Right now the owner of connection references seems to be always the service account with which you have installed the toolkit
4. References in their dataverse table are also connected to the solution they are in, this relation should also exist or be shown in the toolkit

Environment variables need owner changing as well, when sombody leaves to company. From my understanding environment variables are not featured at all. They

1. Deserve their own menu item in the Power Platform Admin View
2. DisplayName, Schema Name, Owner as well as other details should be shown there
3. The relation to the solution should also be visible, again this is available in the dataverse table for environment variable defintions
4. Owner reassignment should be possible

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context?

I would love to help develop this further. I am a Power Platform developer, but my expertise in Model Driven apps and Dataverse is very basic. I also do not know much about Github :(
