I got SQL Server 2012 installed on my machine and I have SSDT to create BI projects.

Today i installed Visual Studio 2012; but i cannot create any of BI projects in Visual Studio 2012. Is there a way I can open BI (SSIS/SSAS/SSRS) projects in VS 2012 or should i have to always go back to SSDT to open them.
