How to create a T4 template and do it appear when i add new item in visual studio?

Is it possible to create a T4 template and do it appear when i add new item in visual studio? For exemple, when i want to add i new class i press right button in my solution, or any directory and choose Add > Add New Item, and now i select class, or interface...

I want to create T4 template to my specific Services, that i can have a ProductService, UserService, etc.. so, i want to do this: Right button in my solution, or any directory and choose Add > Add New Item, and now i select Service that 'll generate the code based in my T4 template.

Or a way to do that similar when we add a New Controller in visual studio when we are working with asp.net mvc 3 project that appear the option "Add Controller", in my case would appear "Add Service".

You can add T4 templates to your project by selecting "Text File" from the add new item dialog and giving the file a .tt extension. Overall, the editor support for T4 is pretty weak but there are a few extensions that help a bit.
