Based on nucleons ($p, n$) and hyperons ($\mathrm{\Lambda }, {\mathrm{\Omega }}^{-}$) formed at kinetic freeze-out from a quark combination model, we systematically study the production of light nuclei and hypernuclei in the hadronic coalescence picture. We present the analytical formula of the nucleus momentum distribution of two-body coalescence and that of three-body coalescence. We explain the experimental data of the transverse momentum spectra of deuteron ($d$), triton ($t$), helium-3 (${}^3\mathrm{He}$), and hypertriton (${}_{\mathrm{\Lambda }}{}^3\mathrm{H}$) measured in Au-Au collisions from the RHIC Beam Energy Scans I and II, and also provide the corresponding predictions of different $\mathrm{\Omega }-$hypernuclei $H\left(p{\mathrm{\Omega }}^{-}\right), H\left(n{\mathrm{\Omega }}^{-}\right)$, and $H\left(pn{\mathrm{\Omega }}^{-}\right)$. We further study the production correlations of different species of light (hyper-)nuclei and discuss their interesting behaviors as a function of collision energy.
