Is there any way to change the axis point on an object for rotating?

Hi Colin Scott McDonald, you recently wrote in moray.win:

No. The rotation is always around the objects origin. If you place the
object in a group and translate it in the group, you can mimic a
different center of rotation by then rotating the group.
