Simple Link is a tidy, production-ready tool that puts Light Linking and Shadow Linking into one friendly panel. No hunting through outliners, no hacky workarounds- just pick a light, pick your objects or a collection, and click. Done.

Why artists love it

• Light Linking (Solo & Collection)
  Instantly include/exclude selected objects—or an entire collection—from a chosen light. Great for hero keys, glass passes, and product shots.

• Shadow Linking (Solo & Collection)
  Let a light affect an object without letting that object cast shadows, or restore shadows with a click. Perfect for clean fills and stylized looks.

• Built-in Collection Tools
  Create a collection from your selection, add/remove members, refresh, and “Select In Viewport” to verify at a glance.

• Non-destructive & Per-Light
  Links live on the light. Your scene structure remains intact—no object duplication or material trickery.

• Clean, consistent UI
  Light Linking sits above Shadow Linking, matching layout and muscle memory. Clear labels and hover tooltips guide every button.

• Eevee & Cycles friendly
  Works beautifully in both, so you can lookdev fast and render confident.

Compatibility

• Blender 4.0+ (tested on 4.5)

If you want clean lighting control with zero fuss, this is the add-on you’ve been waiting for.
