Description

Description of the new feature / enhancement

It would be great if we could have a VSIX to support extensions for VS and VSCode.

https://github.com/microsoft/WindowsTemplateStudio/releases/tag/4.1.21179.01 is a great example for one that would something that would be something I'd want on my VS 2019 instance.

Bonus points if we just point to VS Marketplace's direct link and pull from there :)
