Customize-face does correctly show the link provided by a :link that
is applied to a defface in that group. However, customize-group does
not show this link for the face.
Yes it does. Just click on "Show Face".
Note that the values of faces are normally hidden by default in group
buffers (but not when you do `M-x customize-face'). For most
defcustoms, the value is not hidden by default. If you hide their
value, the link disappears, just like for faces.
Thanks.
BTW, it seems that Show Value and Show Face show more than the value/face.
IOW, someone might not guess that it is by clicking Show Value that he will
see the other stuff. This might be something to tinker with after the
release, to try to make it more obvious how to show additional stuff. A
simple "fix" would of course be to change the name of Show Value/Face to
something else.
Something else to think about for after the release: "Show Face" isn't quite
the right name, since the face is, in fact shown ("sample"). It's the
definition (details) of the face that are not shown. Perhaps Show Details or
Show Definition?
