The fact is that is how it works but the manual may be incorrect.
linkto is used for appadmin and appadmin wants to know which od is
involved in the query,for example
db.table.field==1
so linkto has to be of the form URL('action',args='db')
It has been so for two years. It cannot be changed without breaking
appadmin.
