Description

Is there a way to use svg elements for tiles? Or perhaps attach a larger tile-sheet of svg icons and then reference individual tiles when making tiles. All embedded with the json file. I'm doing a proof of concept for ReactNative app and want to use SVG instead of image tiles but still 100% hooked on Tiled

Any plans to support this in Editor?

And also having image tiles file and using svg engine itself to map to tiles with rotate would be a very cool Tiled Export feature. As demoed here:

```

This is crude but its as an idea demo...

Research direction

The issue names no source files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating Tiled Editor's existing image-tile and tileset handling, then review how JSON embedding and export features are structured; define SVG tile-sheet support, per-tile references, rotation, and a demonstrable React Native export before implementation.
