The only way is to add an extra parameter to the resource type.
The way some providers have gotten around this (e.g., some of the
package providers) is by embedding things like prefixes in the name,
so you'd have something like:
service { "/prefix/openssh": ... }
Obviously this is a bit hackish, but until the system can be enhanced
to support what you need, it can work.
