Exclude objects from certain lights

Heavily needed feature in production. A list of excluded or included objects/collections for every light. I often need certain objects to not cast shadows or not being illuminated by certain lights. It's about freedom to get exactly the lighting you want, not what a software decides is or isn't realistic or physical possible. You often need specific rim lights on your character or hero prop. Or special directed shadows or highlights. At least please for Cycles.

There is a task already available here : developer.blender.org/T68915 Its set under the "help welcome" sign.. I dont know why this is not even in the Cycles roadmap considering how important this tool is and the amount of tokens it have received on the task

already proposed a lot of times, search for "light linking"
