Just a thought i had on this - Typically you'll have 2 trunk links,
each with a one way on them. My thought was to put "the other" ref
on it - So when you go from trunk ref=a to trunk ref=b via trunk_link 1 
you'll put ref=b on it - On the other trunk link you'll you from trunk b to
a you add ref=a to it.

The idea behind it is that the navigation software will tell you

"Keep right to trunk ref b"

Not - "Keep right and continue on ref a" and later
a "Join trunk ref b"

When leaving the trunk with a ref a (on a trunk_link) you are heading
towards a new trunk so you put the "new" ref on it ...
