MVC Dynamic Action in Route

Is it possible to define a route in MVC that dynamically resolves the action based on part of the route?

For example:

`/products/create/widget`

Would resolve to ProductsController.CreateWidget(Widget);

I want the route to be dynamic:

routes.MapRoute(
    "Create",
    "/products/create/{productType}",
    new { controller = "Products", action = "Create{productType}" }
);

I need to have multiple Create actions that take in different model types but I don't want to add a new route every time I add one. Without appending the name to the action I get an ambiguous method error. Is it possible to do this?

I think you probably need to create your own custom route object derived from the RouteBase where you can assign action based on particular part of the Url. Take a look at this example.
