Is it possible to specify an Item with metadata from the command line?

The Subject pretty much says it all. Lets say I have Items defined as

<ItemGroup>
<ItemA Include="foo">
<bar>baz</bar>
<fiz>ban</fiz>
</ItemA>
</ItemGroup>

Is it possible for me to pass a parameter into msbuild to construct an ItemA item I've got a way of doing this via properties, but it is ungainly at best and ugly at worst.

thanks, nathan
