is it possible to create a custom substate in each route like the error/loading substates?

It’s coming in Ember 1.11, it’s in the beta right now: [Ember.js 1.10.0 and 1.11 Beta Released](http://emberjs.com/blog/2015/02/07/ember-1-10-0-released.html) (almost at the bottom, named substates).

You also have to explicitly add the loading route to your routes

```
this.route('todos');
this.route('todos_loading');

```

but I think that’s a bug.

Edit: If you mean another _type_ of substate, I really don’t know. There’s an `intermediateTransitionTo()` method on the router, maybe that’ll help.
