Place an existing content type instance in an Orchard CMS content page

I'm learning Orchard CMS, and am trying to figure out how to place an existing content item.

I've created a new content type, and made it 'placeable'. Now when I'm editing a content page, my new content type shows up in the right hand column under 'Content Items', I can drag it into the layout which pops up a modal where I then create a new instance of the content type (which then gets inserted in the layout).

What I can't figure out, is how do I a place an existing (already created) instance of that content type into the layout? This seems like something that should be easy to do but I can't find any mention of it on the documentation.

If you want to add existed content item to your layout, you can drag Content Item element (find it under Content group) from the right column:

Then, select the desired content item from this popup:

Here, you can select single or multiple items to be displayed with the display type.
