tamtesekowyou can tag geometry with LPE tag and then isolate in your AOVs
bump, LPE tags for geo lights still a no no?
it works for geometry light contributions
the main limitation seems to be that the Split Per LPE Tag checkboxes don't parse geometry marked as lights, only light schemas and therefore they will not detect and create the AOVs for current workaroundish incarnation of geometry lights
so you have to create additional AOVs yourself with corresponding LPE that filters lights by LPE tag of the geometry light object
thanks Tomas, should have come up with that on my own, here is the hip for everybody that is interested. But not sure if my LPEs are correct, even if they look alright.

sekowIf you always want to treat those objects as lights you can just do:
But not sure if my LPEs are correct, even if they look alright.
C.*<L.'tubes'>
but I assume your LPE tries to match both cases whether you interpret them as lights or keep as emissive surfaces
C.*[<L.'tubes'>+<O.'tubes'>]
in that case I think you can simplify by typing:
C.*<[LO].'tubes'>

Bump for question about light linker -- is it possible to use Light Linker on geometry lights? I am trying to light link an emissive volume, but it's not showing up at all on the "lights" panel of the light linker...
Not yet, but in a future release this will be possible, as Geometry Lights in USD are now decorated with an ApiSchema, so USD/Hydra recognize them as actual lights.

I'm o.d.d.
