Is it possible to create a code snippet in visual studio, that intellisense will provide as a class member?

Example:
List<string> texts = new List<string>();
texts. //after typing the dot, I want intellisense to provide my snippet

What I have tried:

I've tried to find an XML element that solves this, but I don't think there is one.

I know how to create a snippet, but I do not know how to call it in the same way as for example member function (write an object instance name, press dot and select snippet from intellisense)

Sorry, I have not used this feature. You will need to do some more research on the subject.
