Description
### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As a Level Designer I would often like to also use a random placement feature like I already can with Tilesets - but now also with ObjectCollections. This would be great for easy decoration and versatility placements.
(And I don't want to script extra auto mapping for this)
### Describe the solution you'd like.
I multi-select (holding down CTRL) multiple Tiles from ObjectCollection. And when I place them in the Map, only one of the selected Tile is placed - ranomdly chosen.
Nice bonus would be (implemented via buttons at the top bar maybe?):
- Enable rotation (randomly places in 90° steps)
- Enable flipping (h / v)
### Describe alternatives you've considered.

Research direction
Start by inspecting the existing random placement behavior for Tilesets, then trace how multi-selection and placement work for ObjectCollections in the editor. The feature is done when placing multiple selected ObjectCollection Tiles randomly chooses one item, with the requested rotation and flipping options if included.
