Is there a way to make a point light just act as a specular source?

    No. I'm not sure why you would want to?

    You may want to look into writing your own custom lighting shader.

    Pretty simple request/feature in 3d modeling programs, I don't want to do it at the material level because I also want lights that contribute to diffuse and specular as well. Basically I have some models that use emissive for lightmass on, I'm not happy with the baked specular quality. I disabled use baked specular on my materials, so I want to have place holder lights that are just acting as a specular for those static meshes acting as lights.

    If I can recall, you'll need to extend from their pointlight component or something along those lines and either turn off or edit the way it does lighting on static objects.
