Automatically rearrange are resize selected objects in columns / rows with uniform gaps
Could you have a function that automatically arranges links or shapes in the layout space with an equal distance in width and height?
Have a nice day.

I don't think such a feature will come soon. In such a task there may be a lot of questions about solution methods, as Egor wrote earlier. I think it is possible to automate at least the drawing of the Bento Grid using scripts.

Vichot, how do you think to control the process?
What UI do you think this feature should get?
How do you intend to control columns, rows, gaps, overall width and height?
Some object would have to be resized, while some other can stay unchanged, — how do you plan to mark these?While there is no fully automated solution for this now, there are several supplementary free scripts you can use today to boost this workflow drastically:
1. Resize to Size script by Sergey Osokin, www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN3dAf6rac8
2. Distribute Stacked Objects script by John Wundes, https://github.com/johnwun/js4ai/blob/master/distributeStackedObjects.jsx
3. Fit / Fill Image scripts by Seiji Miyazawa, https://onthehead.com/ais/group008/ (these are very similar to what InDesign allows)
These would save you a ton of time.
