My coverage layer is streets and I want to have only certain objects shown on my additional layer according to which street is shown. The QGIS Atlas page name is the name of the street which also appears in the attributes table of my additional layer.

Is there a way to simply have this connected so that i can export my desired results automatically?

I have multiple objects in the additional layer and they do not intersect geographically with the coverage layer.

This can be achieved with a rule based renderer for your additional layer with a rule like this one:

 "fk" = attribute(@atlas_feature,'name')

where "fk" is a field in your additional layer with the foreign key to your street layer (the atlas feature layer).

When you enter the rule, all the features from your additional layer will disapear because the @atlas_feature will not be evaluated in the map view.

enter image description here

finally within the atlas the expression can be evaluated and only the features with the same name in the foreign key field will be shown.
