This will help prevent user confusion between optlink and Microsoft's link.exe.

(I mean also rename link.exe to be optlink.exe.)

It never occurred to me that renaming a tool that has been around for 10s of years was a reasonable thing to expect ;)

Sounds like a good idea now that we have more users with both toolchains installed. The binary is small enough to simply ship a copy for a while. See https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/installer/pull/149.
