Item Template for Web and/or MVC in a VSIX?

Is there a way to specify what type of project an item template is for besides CSharp and VB? I have tried setting ProjectType to Web and ProjectSubType to CSharp as it says in this article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171386(v=vs.110).aspx. This causes the item template to not appear anywhere. I've also tried the reverse, which gets it to show up under C#, but not under web.

Ideally I'd like for it to show under MVC, but even Web would just be fine. How can do I that? Since this is a VSIX I can't and don't want to just drop it into the appropriate area of the item templates folder.

<ProjectType>CSharp</ProjectType>
  <ProjectSubType>Web</ProjectSubType>
<RequiredFrameworkVersion>4.0</RequiredFrameworkVersion>
<NumberOfParentCategoriesToRollUp>2</NumberOfParentCategoriesToRollUp>

You need to mimic the hierarchy in you VSIX project where you included the template file. For example, if you want the template to appear under the node Web under C# and you have the template file under the folder ItemTemplates in your VSIX project, you need to move the template file to:

ItemTemplates > CSharp > Web

Then:
<ProjectType>CSharp</ProjectType> <NumberOfParentCategoriesToRollUp>1</NumberOfParentCategoriesToRollUp>

Would be sufficient. You don't need to set <ProjectSubType></ProjectSubType>
