How about:
Generic-Link: URL=value
Which is required to be written in exactly that form, the URN denotes
the relation type, and the URN is always unquoted, absolute, and in
a canonical form.
It seems to satisfy the same easy parsing and substitution
requirements that motivate foo-Link, while providing the flexibility
of URNs for unregistered relation types.

What I'm missing a bit in this discussion is the fact that the Link
header already is specified, deployed and supported by some UAs (such as
Firefox (*) and Opera AFAIK).
Thus I'd really prefer to *extend* it in a backwards-compatible way (as
proposed by Mark N.) instead of inventing something new.
