You know that if you Expand your object's matrix that it locks it in place. Where as if you select it you cannot move it with the Object Navigation Widget. This comes in handy for instance when creating a scene for truePlayer and you do not want the user moving your objects around.
Here is a little tip for keeping the Link Editor less congested. Instead of Expanding the object's matrix on the outside, you can do this inside your object. Enter your object by clicking on the orange triangle. Disconnect the wire from the Transform's Matrix. Right click the Matrix label and select Expand. Then right click it again and select Export. See picture below for an example.
Included below is a script that will perform this for a selected object.
