I'm currently using ADO.NET Entity Framework to create my data access
layer, and so far it has been working great.

However, I'm creading a new code generator to expand the abilities of
the current one.

Thus, I'd like to provide some means to edit the properties I need
from the IDE, like adding a new menu item to the entity designer's
context menu.

How do I achieve such goal?

Is it possible?

Yes, it's possible if you're the MS project manager for the ADO.NET
Entity Framework. Can you do such a thing with nHibernate for those 3rd
party vendors that provide nHibernate solutions? However, I did know a
developer that did make some suggestions to a nHibernate 3rd party
vendor that implemented his suggestion in a subsequent release of the
3rd party ORM solution.
