Playing the Bishop's Opening-Vienna Hybrid (1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Nf6 3. d3 Bc5 4. Nc3 Nc6 5. f4 d6 6. f5). I'm trying to find some ideas instead plays into a Sicilian Defense. I'm trying to think of lines that do not require a lot of opening theory that play similar to my primary opening for e4. Does anyone have some ideas?

If you want to avoid the Open Sicilian, maybe try the Alapin. But even for the Sicilian Alapin, there is a lot to learn, this book on the Alapin is about 456 pages for example:
