The only thing I ever use linking for is a "makelink ram:Disk.info envarc:ram_disk.info soft" in s:user-startup, so that I can snapshot icon etc. as normal :-)
I sometimes use hard links for saving disk space, e.g. for Poseidon installer disks (either in flashrom or on DD-disk) if there's the same icon multiple times (drawer or installer icons), I would hardlink the .info files to one "template". This would save me a few kilobytes of diskspace :-)
Other than that, hardlinks should probably be avoided at all costs, the chances that the filesystem supports them correctly is slim and they cause all kinds of troubles for most file managers.
