What is a link (US survey) unit?

It is a historic US length unit equal to 1/100 of a Gunter's chain, approximately 0.201168 meters, used mainly in land surveying.

Why convert links (US survey) to Planck length?

To relate traditional land measurement units to the fundamental length scale used in quantum gravity and theoretical physics.

Can I use this conversion for practical measurements?

No, due to the immense difference in scale and the Planck length's extremely small size, this conversion is mostly theoretical.
