Attaching files in VSIX container

Question

Is it possible to include some predefined files in the VSIX container and then access them by the extension?

In the .vsixmanifest designer select Assets - New - Select type and file name. Or directly edit .vsixmanifest Assets node. These files will be deployed to the same directory as the main extension dll.
