'Like Parameter Input'

One of my favorite features of Cinema 4D is what I guess I'd call 'Like parameter input'. Say you have 20 lights, you want 5 of them to be blue, when you select the lights you'd like to change, since they're of the same type of object, the parameters that they share are available to change. Wherever there is parameter overlap in a selection, show those parameters.

No idea if it's possible at all, but it's really great. A huge time saver. HUGE.

Between sharing datablocks and multi-object property editing with <kbd>Alt</kbd>, this feature is already in Blender.

Pretty sure Blender does not work like this. You can, however, share definitions across different objects.

In your example. You can have 20 light objects, and 5 of them share the same light data. Changing one will change them all.
