How to embed text.html.basic into javascript template tags?

I am using this configuration:

{
    "defaults": {
        "comma_operator": false,
        "custom_tagged_literals": false,
        "es_decorators": true,
        "flow_types": false,
        "jsx": false,
    },

    "configurations": {
        "Default": {},
        "React": {
            "custom_template_tags": {
                "style": "scope:text.html.basic"
            },
        }
    },

    "auto_build": true,
    "jsx_close_tag": true
}

But the file still not highlighting html:

I think a better solution will be to allow users to do things like this VS Code plugin - https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=bierner.comment-tagged-templates
