In the MARC_framework help for subfields there is this description
of the 'link' field:

link : If you enter a field/subfield here (200b), a little glass 
appears after the subfield. If the user click on the glass, a search 
is done on the DB for the field/subfield with the same value. Can be 
used for 2 main topic :
on a field like author (200f in UNIMARC), put 200f here, you will be 
able to see all biblios with the same author
on a field that is a link (4xx) to reach another biblio. For 
example, put 011a in 464$x, will find the serial that was previously 
with this issn. With the 4xx pligin, you get a powerful tool to 
manage biblios connected to biblio

Reading this help it is clear that feature is present in MARC editor ('Add MARC
Record' link).
But it is not true.
Checking the code, it appears that the 'link' function is only for setup a link
in the intranet MARC view of a record.

The patches that inseted this code are:

So in fact there is an error in the help.
This function is not for Marc editor.

The error is present into HEAD, 3.0.1 and in those pages of manuals:
