Yes, Relink is about being able to rename tiddlers without having any markup links to them go cold. But given how many of us found it to be essential, I believe it's been brought into the core for a while now (since 5.1.14). So if you're just starting up you should already see an option box appear, when you rename a tiddler, to verify that you want the links to follow along. (Sometimes you might specifically *not* want the links to follow, so it's great that it's de-selectable.)
