How can I get Asp.net MVC add view dialog out of Views folder?

Since I followed this article to implement a theme engine in Asp.net MVC website. But by doing this I can't have "Add View" dialog by right click on ~/Themes/ folder. By default "Add View" dialog can only show up when I click ~/Views/ folder. Can I have any chance to set it show up for ~/Themes/ Folder?

Edit: My Teammate want to change some options in asp.net mvc T4 template, he put CodeTemplates in website root folder. He can't find the options from his T4 by doing : Add --> New Item ---> MVC View Page

It seems Views folder can't be changed to another name in ASP.net MVC. Otherwise you will lose those T4 related items in VS IDE.

+2  A: 

You can use Add --> New Item ---> MVC View Page everywhere in your project.

Yes, This method can help user create a View, but user won't get any T4 related addtional helper template in the view. Any other good ideas?

To get T4 generation, you will have to add to the root "Views" folder. You could create into "Views", and then just copy/drag the generated file into your Themes folder.

Ok, Since three weeks past, no accept answer for this question so I guess this is by design issue can't be fixed.
