One of the Insteon guys was soliciting ideas about this in one of the HA
fora (don't remember which one; probably Cocoontech or AccessHA).  I don't
remember any specific responses, just that none of them struck me as being
an ideal solution.

Failing anything else, it can be done through software on a computer with an
Insteon powerline interface.  That's how you'd want to do linking in any
sizeable Insteon installation anyway.
