Hi Fred,
I don't believe there is anything wrong using a
high quality link, with the expectation that it
is replaced occasionally due to corrosion issues
where it is difficult to inspect.
It might be tricky to get one that matches the pitch an your windlass head.

Many years ago I used one that was two halves
nestled together over pins and the pin heads got
peened over. Better than the Hammerlock style to
limit corrosion issues but I couldn't find an image of it.

about using a link/ Â If I use a shackle it would bind in my anchor windless.
