The two tags are similar, but different: The key placement gives information about the placement of a highway=* way relative to the lanes. placement=transition means that the placement is changing along the highway=* way. It doesn't say whether the highway=* way is part of the carriageway of another highway=*. (It can, e.g. when the road forks, but it doesn't have to, e.g. when the road doesn't fork but the number of lanes changes.) In contrast, *=link (or *=connection or how will finally be called) means that the highway=* way is located inside the carriageway of another highway=* way and thus has no length or doesn't really exist. It is only used to connect the roads or paths to make routing possible.
