Is there a way to have a smart template access a VS tool window?
I want to add or append to the xml comments for a member or type and use the selected workitems in the Team Explorer -> My Work -> In Progress workitems list for some of the information.
I can hack through the particulars, but before I get too far, is it even possible for me to do this with a template, or is another route better?

Hello Andrew!
Thank you for contacting us.
As I understand you need integration with TFS which ReSharper doesn't provide.
Thank you.
TFS is not really what I asked about.
I asked if R# smart templates can access tool windows within the IDE. Or if there is a way to invoke the DTE from a smart template in order to access the other Tool Windows. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee834473.aspx
Thank you for clarification!
In theory it can be implemented by developing R# plugin and creating custom macros as a part of it. R# live template runs the macros and macros gets all neccessary information about Tool windows.
Thank you.
