Are there any plans to add this attribute to the Modify tab?

Hi Tony Vigil, you recently wrote in moray.win:

No. Looklike isn't a simple attribute like hollow or no_shadow and
creates all sorts of headaches.

It is extremely easy to workaround, though, since all looks_like does
is make a union of the looks_like object and the light source and
turns no_shadow on for the object. You can do that from within Moray.
