Using a mix of both will probably not work well, because the only
advantage of using TAB is that, if you have only a single stored
link, it will give you that link with a single key press.  I have
always disliked the completion interface for selecting stored
links - it somehow does not work well when you have several links
stored.  Your proposal was therefore a welcome opportunity to
change this.

I guess the main problem is that the prompt does not clearly say
how to get to the stored links.

If you want to get to the link stored most recently, just reply RET
to the link prompt, this is even faster than TAB RET.

Fixed, thanks.

Yes, that would also be an options - however, a tag works just fine,
so I'll leave it at that for now.

Sure!
