Systems, methods, apparatus and computer-readable media (transitory and non-transitory) are described herein for facilitating linking of selective illumination of one or more light sources (106, also referred to as “lighting elements”) to states of one or more inputs (102). In various embodiments a linking computing device (104) may render, e.g., on a display (212) such as an ambient display, a source graphical element (214) that represents an input and a sink graphical element (216) that represents a light source. In various embodiments, the computing device may receive a user-input instruction to alter one of the source and sink graphical elements to be within a predetermined proximity of the other on the display. In various embodiments, the computing device may link selective illumination of the light source to a state of the input while the source and sink graphical elements are within the predetermined proximity of each other on the display.
