Own item type for a project node

Question

Hello!

EnvDTE namespace has ProjectItems class. It has AddFolder method. With it, we can create a physical folder (for a C# project):

var projectItem=projectItems.AddFolder("FolderName", VSConstants.ItemTypeGuid.PhysicalFolder_string);

Or a virtual folder (for a C++ project):

var projectItem=projectItems.AddFolder("FilterName", VSConstants.ItemTypeGuid.VirtualFolder_string);

But we cannot create a physical folder for a C++ project. Is it possible to create my own type somehow? Say, duplicating the filter for C++ projects (exactly the same function), just so that it has a different identifier and is displayed with a different icon (collapsed and expanded).

Hello,

Based on my knowledge, I suppose it is impossible.

Sincerely,
