How to create custom snippets in Visual Studio 2022 for Blazor files (*.razor)

Question

Is there a way that I can create my own custom snippets for Blazor files in Visual Studio 2022? I'm able to create custom snippets for C# using <Code Language="CSharp"> in the .snippet file however, there is no such thing as <Code Language="blazor">. I can import using CSharp or HTML for code language but I'm unable to use it while coding on *.razor files. The shortcut shows up when I start typing but hitting tab does not bring the code snippet.

Is there any workaround or extension that can do this?

Currently, Visual Studio does not support creating custom snippets for Razor, so something like or won't work. You can check the supported languages here: Code snippets schema reference.

Apparently, only built-in snippets work in *.razor files. You can find a discussion and some suggestions to work around this limitation, such as editing built-in snippets or using the legacy editor, in this issue: 6397.
