Is it possible to dynamically create "azurerm" providers?

I would like to create multiple azure_rm providers, from a variable list. Trying with "count" is not possible, I got the message "reserved for future usage".

Technicaly describing, the section that I would like to dynamic create is:

provider "azurerm" {  
  features {}
  subscription_id = "1d1a56ed-681f-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
  alias = "spoke1"
}

I tried also with for_each, but also not possible, since for_each creates only a section, not a complete "provider" section.

# To improve... try to use dynamic block
# It looks to be not possible. Could be necessary to auto-generate this scetion with external script
# provider "azurerm" {  
#   features {}
#   dynamic "spoke" {
#     for_each = var.spoke_networks
#     content {
#       subscription_id = spoke.value["subscription_id"]
#       alias = spoke.value["subscription_alias"]
#     }
#   }
# }

What I would like to achieve is to just feed my variable(spoke_networks) with a new entry, and terraform creates a new provider. the variable file stucture should be something like this:

variable "spoke_networks" {
    description = "List with the properties of the Spoke VNETs"
    type        = list(object({subscription_alias=string ,subscription_id=string , resource_group_name=string , vnet_name=string }))
}

Thank you, VS

You can't do this with terraform. But possibly you could do it with terragrunt.
