How to define Directory in Azure Storage Container with Terraform

Question

I know to how to create Storage and Container. But is it possible to create "directory"?

I find followings, but not for creating directory.

resource "azurerm_resource_group" "example" {
  name     = "example-resources"
  location = "West Europe"
}

resource "azurerm_storage_account" "example" {
  name                     = "examplestoraccount"
  resource_group_name      = azurerm_resource_group.example.name
  location                 = azurerm_resource_group.example.location
  account_tier             = "Standard"
  account_replication_type = "LRS"

  tags = {
    environment = "staging"
  }
}

resource "azurerm_storage_container" "example" {
  name                  = "vhds"
  storage_account_name  = azurerm_storage_account.example.name
  container_access_type = "private"
}

The directories you see are virtual and are essentially the blob prefix e.g. if you upload a blob with name images/my-image.png, images will be presented as a directory.

Even when you click on the "Add Directory" button in Azure Portal, you will see the following message:
