Is it possible to run a gulp task from visual studio with arguments

Question

I have a gulp task that takes arguments using yargs. From the command line, I am doing something like gulp scaffold:thing --name=someName --path=some/path-to/{thing} . I would like to be able to call this and prompt the user to enter the necessary parameters, is this possible using a task?

I tried using w630>, but the visual studio output does not display a prompt at all.
