To me residential_link doesn't provide any meaningful distinction to warrant a new highway tag. Maybe you misunderstood what link is about. Links are for when collision-less means of joining or leaving high(er) speed traffic are needed. From what I know about your residential_link examples it's not really that, they are just shortcuts to make turns less awkward. It's not standardized for a reason - they don't make sense.
