Projects v. Modules
I'm currently toying around with the Plugin API, and I have a particular structure for a language extension in mind. Precisely, I want a project for my language to (ultimately) be a folder containing a whole host of "archives", which I want to model as modules (this is because the software I want to build a plugin for has its own archive management). This in particular means that a project should be very much different from a module, but as far as I can see, the Plugin API only allows me to specify module types.
tl;dr is there a way to add a "project type" that is not "just" a module type?

It's possible to store a special marker for your projects (via a custom project service) and use it to change behavior of the IDE for your projects. But not everything can be changed, e.g. currently you cannot specify which modules can be added to a project in Project Structure dialog.
