    This paper considers recently introduced Euclidean billiard partitions, that arose in the study of integrable billiards in Euclidean spaces of arbitrary dimensions and represent the winding numbers for each elliptic coordinate corresponding to periodic trajectories. Such partitions have distinct parts such that the adjacent ones are never both odd and the smallest part is even. This work uses linked partition ideals to establish several relevant trivariate generating function identities, which then enable a new way of obtaining the generating functions for the billiard partitions.
