To give the user easy access to all parts of a document from each part
of that same document. View it like an pop-up ToC.

First of all, debian.org runs potato and this <link> functionality has
just been introduced. He, I didn't know this <link> stuff even existed
until a few weeks ago! So, we're talking about "brand new stuff" here.
Further, I don't think this <link> stuff should just be put in each and
every document without some kind of overall plan. The fact that I added
these <link>s by default initially was just part of the learning process.
Finally, you should ask this question on the debian-doc mailing list. I
would also suggest you write a proposal for using <link>s, gather some
volunteers and start working on it.
Thanks,
Ardo
