How to add a new menu item to the File menu in Visual Studio Code?

Is it possible to create an add a custom menu to the main menu bar (preferably the File menu) in Visual Studio with an extension? I want to add a new project type.

I've been looking for the same thing, but currently, I don't think it's possible. This link describes how an extension can create menu items, but the only "contribution points" are in context menus. There is no contribution point for the top-level File menu. I have also been unsuccessful finding a configuration file for editing the existing menus.

Additionally, this other SO post seems to confirm this: VSCode: hiding some default menu items
