This is a VERY handy feature in Daz. It would greatly speed up lighting. You can make spotlights into cameras and see what they are pointing at and also their angle  of view. If that's too hard to do for the iClone engine, converting a camera into a spotlight based on its parameters should be an issue f just auto-copying and pasting the location and rotation parameters into a new spotlight or just the location into a point light.

The emulate that you could link a camera and a light to a prop and adjust the direction of both with the prop.
