Asset Browser - optional Gizmo always on duplicate/instance multi-place mode.

It feels great to use the grid like UI gizmo to drag and drop an object into the scene, however, you can only add one object or collection with the gizmo, I propose being able to instance/duplicate /multi-place the single object many times with the same gizmo so it's always active. With shortcuts esc (or enter) to finish the process.

or it could be just having a multi-place object option and let us have the gizmo when placing if we want it. Some folks like to turn off the gizmos.

I am aware of shortcuts like alt-d /shift-D already work but this could be a toggle/ button that could be enabled for adding mutltiples of the same object for bushes, chairs, pathways, bins and it allows for quicker placement.

Perhaps it is already in the plans for Asset Browser if so I would like to read more about it.
