I wouldn't use any role on the mainline, except maybe "forward/backward" if
it was a route that only applies in one direction or as part of a
super-relation.
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/36.14776/-95.97981&layers=C is a good
spot to see a few different possibilities.  This is where a local cycleway
(no number) crosses the proposed Oklahoma state bike route 66 and the
proposed US bike route 66.  I honestly don't think "link" is a commonly
used role at all.
