Emmet Lorem Ipsum multi-cursor?

I wanted to insert some random text different places in my html document, so used the multi-cursor [alt]+click and typed lorem4 [tab].

But this just gives me the same sentence "Lorem ipsum dolor sit." allover, anyway I can do this so that it will be random text?

Doing it manual every place also gives the same line.

 lorem generator produces different text with multiple carets (the first sentence is the same, the rest differs):

if I add carets to both <div> elements and hit Tab abfter lorem, I get the same result as when calling lorem generator twice inorder:

 

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<body>
<a href="javascript:foo()">Call foo</a>
<div class="a">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. A ad deserunt, enim est exercitationem facilis illum ipsum iure, mollitia placeat quia temporibus voluptatem. Asperiores assumenda id nesciunt totam. Eligendi, neque.</div>
<div class="b">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Dolore facilis iusto laborum laudantium maiores nisi quae ut? Dolores, esse ex fugit in ipsam neque perferendis porro quidem soluta voluptate, voluptatibus.</div>
<script type="text/javascript">

To get completely random different texts, you have to create several elements at once with one command, like

p*2>lorem

. See https://docs.emmet.io/abbreviations/lorem-ipsum/#repeated-lorem-ipsum

I know all of that, that was not the question. The question was if it could be done somehow?

Isn't it a missed opportunity in Phpstorm? Now that we can use multi-cursor then also being able to insert random text multiply places?  Very useful under development 

But i also never understod why emmet not just always make random text, when do have to have the same line again, if i wanted i just copy paste.

no, it can't bee done. And, afaik, EMMET behaves just in the same way in other editors
