wooden broom handle in my Feedback Sports Ultralight work stand, rotate the clamp so that the broom handle is horizontal (and parallel to the ground). I drape the chain over the broom handle and drag the chain over the broom handle while holding both ends of the chain. Flip chain over and repeat.
I wax the chain with the quick link
separately attached, by looping a wire (from the inside of a twist tie) around the groove near the protruding end of the pin. But next time I will just wax the chain with the quick link closed.
A little wax is not going to prevent the quick link from locking if you use this tool:

Some fall off. Some stick to the RD pulleys but is easy to brush off if the bike is on the stand.
I actually used a park tool quick link tool and could not close them until scraping wax from the holes and crevices of the locking mechanism.
I like your idea about waxing with the quick links on the chain that might work better
