PowerLink

PowerLink is an add-on that streamlines the process of linking and appending assets from external Blender files. It provides a dedicated interface in the 3D Viewport's N-panel that lists blend files from a specified directory, allowing users to rapidly browse and insert collections into their active scene. Linking adds collection instances at the 3D cursor, while appending imports the objects and their connected data, such as materials.

While functional as a standalone tool, it is designed to integrate with the PowerSave add-on, turning temporary saves into a fast-recall sketchbook of assets. An advanced mode supports importing from multiple blend files and multiple collections simultaneously. It also integrates with HardOps, utilizing its 'Collect' function to quickly generate Smart Collections for meshes and Light Collections for reusable light rigs.
