Feedback The problem with HDRP light layers (selecting each individual mesh renderer)

I'm using Unity 2020.3 with HDRP for my project and I've found light layers to be especially frustrating to use. I have a simple goal in mind: to exclude interiors from receiving directional light. But my scene is huge, and while it's organized nicely in the hierarchy, I don't have the time to select each individual mesh renderer to set its light layer. Instead, I should be able to change the parent objects light layer and have it affect each child mesh's renderer. The normal layer setting already works this way. How is a level designer supposed to manage large scenes with this inconvenience?

Will this be implemented in the future? Is there something I'm missing?
