Baked Lighting Variation Between Static Meshes

I wonder if Naughty Dog’s method would work in this case. Check out page 8 and 9 here:

This seems to be about seams within the same staticmesh, but I wonder if the same could be applied to neighboring meshes. I guess it could be hard to determine what light differences are legit and which ones are accidental. A light difference at the edge, where the floor meets the wall would make sense, whereas a light difference between two flat planes like in the example of OP wouldn’t make sense. I guess you could check for neighboring meshes, compare the distance to other verts to see if they are less than 0.5uu a part and if they have the same normal direction, the the lightmap pixels should be averaged.

Would be awesome if Epic could implement something like this.
