+1, Link pins wear the same way as all the chain's other 110 pins. Discounting any "official" policies by the makers, the link and chain should stay married for life, so their wear condition stays matched.
IMO, if a link cannot be reused safely, then the chain should be kept on the bike unbroken until replacement time.
