Please add support for using T4 templates in .wixproj projects

[wixbot]

I want to generate a fragment using T4 but after adding a .tt file to the Wix project there is no "Custom Tool" option for this file. And there is no menu item "Run custom tool" when right clicking on the .tt file.

Support for T4 templates is possible in most other Visual Studio project types.

Can you please enable using T4 templates in .wixproj projects?

Might be a duplicate with feature requests from 4 and 5 years ago, see http://wixtoolset.org/issues/2729/

Since this seems to be an older issue, can somebody give an update on this request? Is it even considered? Is it possible to provide a patch / pull request with support for T4 templates?
