It is not easily achieved, but it is possible.

What's needed is a record category/folder factory .. that creates the appropriate sub-types of record category and record folder based on the current context (likely what type of file plan we are working in).

Another complication is that most of the record folders and categories are created via the forms API .. it may be that you will need to add custom forms for your own types and properties.
