How to link a TFS work item to a TFS changeset

In TFS how do I link a changeset with a work item? In other issue trackers, you can do this through the comments (for instance JIRA):

"Fix for bug-1234. Had to add document ready."

The issue tracker will then add this changeset to the history for work item bug-1234, and the changeset history can be viewed in the issue tracker UI.

Does TFS support anything like this? I haven't been able to find any clear links. Note that I am looking to link a TFS work item to a changeset and not to link source to a work item. I am aware of a Product SourceLinks that does and have already started using it.

When you check in code the check-in dialog allows you to select a Work Item (Task, Bug, etc. ) That Work Item will be associated with that check-in/changeset. [every check in creates a changeset]

Then when you view the Bug details you can see all the links/associations:
