I've never found a way. I just use the Merge Visible Layers action
instead. Click on the visibility icon next to each layer to make only
the linked ones visible, then use Merge
One could write a script to do this, if it's possible to determine a layer's
linked state, and programmatically toggle visibility off.
I think it could be done with gimp-drawable-get-linked, and
gimp-drawable-set-visible in a for loop of $number_of_layers
I only did some basic scripting in
I imagine there can be a non-trivial problem with the concept if the
linked layers are not all neighbors:
if there is at least one layer that is not one of the linked, but
between those. In this case, where would the
merged layer be: above or below the middle one?

This is brilliant (and should be a standard feature in Gimp). Just
added this script to Gimp and it works like a charm ... thus far. There
is, however, an interesting dynamic to this script.
If layer 1 is visible, but layer 2 is not visible, and both are linked,
then merging them results in

I disagree (with the standard feature part, and any brilliance lies
mainly with GIMP's extensibility through scripting). The approach is
something of an abuse of chain linking, and of
