Does bicep support ARM linked template hierarchies?

I’m quite used to segment my ARM templates leveraging the _artifactsLocation and _artifactsLocationSasToken variables.
Does bicep support generating linked templates ?

We have replaced the need for linked templates with modules. This allows you to split up your bicep project into multiple files, and then when you run bicep build, we combine everything into a single ARM template with nested deployments so it is easy to deploy (no staging to storage), but it is functionally equivalent to what you are doing with linked templates.

This does not cover any non-template artifacts though (i.e. a .ps1 script), so if you need those in your deployment those will still need to be staged to a public endpoint.

That clears things up.
Thanks.

Hi @springcomp I am just reviewing some discussions. would you mind marking Alex's response as 'Answered', if you are happy with the solution of using Modules.
