No, but it should be perfectly possible to either...

(a) attach the object to just one of the lights, or

(b) specify the object separately from the light sources (or bundle the
object and the corresponding light sources together in a union, making
them easier to manage as a group, e.g. rotate them, hide them in test
renders, or whatever), and explicitly specify "no_shadow" on the object.
