Drag from Content Browser with auto origin-snap?

Oh that works perfectly! I tried it and #2 of your answer works good enough. I found out that it’s possible to grab multiple objects from the CB and toss them in, then use the yellow ‘revert to defaults’ button to snap them all in place as they will all be selected at that point.

If anyone thinks of trying it, do pay attention that tossing multiple objects onto the scene at once will cause UE4 to process for a while, so be careful with what you toss.

The yellow arrow is acceptable for me, if combined with multi-selection. Thank you, DigitalMage!
