Is there any workaround to use Fortnite props with the foliage tool?

I know epic says you can’t because they have some sort of special properties but I am NOT going to make a massive forest by hand and I would like to keep it within the Fortnite artstyle.

I know you used to be able to copy and paste materials and meshes from Fortnite props but I believe they removed that because I cannot do it anymore.

So, is there any way to do it or am I going to have to spend hours building by hand?

Also, if anyone at epic sees this, PLEASE let us edit and use the Fortnite props further than just placing them down on our map and changing the size or whatever…
