Add custom properties for references in Visual Studio 2005

Question

I make use of this technique by Scott Hanselman for merging multiple assemblies as part of building my solution. It works well but it's a bit of a hassle having to hand-edit my .csproj/.vbproj files.

Is it possible to add custom properties to the VS property grid for references? I'd like to be able to add a boolean property to indicate whether or not a given reference should be merged.

I also wants to set a Reference (Property Pages --> Common Properties) specific for a configuration.

In configuration X, reference Y must be referenced. Ans in configuration Z, reference T must be referenced.

Anyone an idea how to do this in visual studio 2005?

So actually make a common property, specific.
