Is there a way to have a free form text entry for a enumeration field

I am using RTC 6.0.1 and I have been asked to create a work item that contains fields that require a drop down list and free form text entry if value does not appear in the drop down list.  Is there an attribute type to do this or can it be done via coding?

If you create an enumeration attribute and use "Database" to store the enums, it is possible to let users add new enum literals in the work item editor (if they have the correct permissions).

I believe the Tag type is the closest thing you can get. It's built-in anyway.
