What this means is you'd have to edit EQ2's active memory and force the item link format (with %T for target) into a macro window edit box. This is against the EULA (aka if a GM found out you had to edit your macro this way, you could get suspended or banned).
If you haven't seen someone do this firthand, it's probably because it can't be done; if you have actually seen someone do this (I haven't) they're likely doing something that's against the rules to make it happen.

You can create any links in game. It can be "real" link of item, with any name.. like... "ebon cluster", you click on this link and there is really picture of ebon cluster, or, "Lalala" - looks like link and when you click it, there will be picture of ebon cluster. It can just "look" like link with any random text, but when you click on it, no picture appears. However it doesnt work with ingame macro, at least I didnt find yet how to make it work. So there is no point to use it in EQ2 other than fun. (For "INC message" macros its really better to use different colors codes, it works with ingame macros).
About links.. there is item's code (number) + item's name and name to display (in chat), if you want your link to work as "link" item's code has to match to item's name, however dispay name could be any.
And finally... *how* to get these codes of items?
Hint - someone mentioned EQIM for EQ1.
P.S.
In eq2 its MUCH easier than in eq1... way less characters to enter.
