What happended?

I am having trouble accessing hooks when inventoryItem and productCategory are created.

WHAT I WAS ABLE TO DO
I was able to access the following hooks

1. createProductsWorkflow.hooks.productsCreated
2. createOrdersWorkflow.hooks.orderCreated

Medusa 2.0.4 seems not to have hooks that handles `createProductCatgeory` and `createInventoryItem` yet, so it became difficult for me to detect when a productCategory and InventoryItem is been created.

WHAT I WAS EXPECTING
I want to be able to access create hooks for

1. createProductCategoriesWorkflow.hooks
2. createInventoryItemsWorkflow.hooks

Kindly let me know if I miss anything here or how I can access these hooks

Expected behavior

1. createProductCategoriesWorkflow.hooks.createProductCatgeory should be available
2. createInventoryItemsWorkflow.hooks.createInventoryItem should be available

Actual behavior

createProductCatgeory hook is missing from createProductCategoriesWorkflow
createInventoryItem hook is missing from createInventoryItemsWorkflow
