How to associate one file type to another in visual studio code?

I have a project with two separate docker files.

VSCode can recognize the first file as a docker file, but not so much luck with the second one. There is no syntax highlighting, and the file hasn't got the docker icon.

Is there any workaround like in vim:

autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead Dockerfile.* set filetype=dockerfile

Can I have some kind of association between Dockerfile.dev and Dockerfile to trick VSCode that Dockerfile.dev is a Docker file.

CMD + Shift + P (CTRL + Shift + P for Linux/Windows) then type > Change Language Mode, press Enter, "Configure File Association for '.dev'..." and select Docker. Done!
