Custom Content Types

I’d like to have the ability from within MT to define custom data types or content types. Right now Custom Fields does give the ability to define a custom “content type” for an entry, category or page.

But in many cases I want discreet entry types, so, I’d like to be able to have one set of fields on one entry type (menu: Create: Entry) and a different set of fields on another entry type (menu: Create: Bio Entry).

I guess the only way to add stuff to the “Create” menu is to build a plugin but being a newbie in that arena I have no clue if it’s viable. A lot of CMS’s provide the ability to create these custom “data definitions” and then easily present them in the CMS to an editor, and output them to the live site as well.
