Description
Sublime Text's default JavaScript syntax package has one very nice feature I miss in this package. A selection within a backtick-enclosed string can be turned into a template literal by pressing $.
Other default languages such as Ruby or CoffeeScript also have this feature. It would be amazing if you could add this to the TypeScript package.

Research direction
Start by locating the TypeScript package's selection handling and syntax transformation entry points, then compare how Sublime Text handles a selection inside a backtick-enclosed string. The feature is done when pressing $ converts the selection into template literal interpolation, matching the behavior shown in the linked GIF.
