"?": is there any way to bind several objects to a specific keyboard key?

[Slavko_Malinov]

Hi folks!

I work as a 3D generalist artist and a massive part of my work is to build up and animate complex scenes with many objects, characters etc.
And I wonder if is there a way to bind an object (or even a collection, as I see in my dreams) to a specific key, you know, just like you could it do with units in good old Warcraft 3
I’m sure at 99% that there’s no easy way to do it in vanilla blender, but maybe somebody have heard about some specific addon that I missed?

You may have a look into the (shipped with) Collection Manager Addon… but i’m afraid this is not directly what you want… so:

No !?

Select one item and Shift-G > Siblings. Or > Collection.
Not exactly what you want but perhaps useful.

Total Annihilation - now that was a great game…
