Maybe the only way is waiting. I have once submitted patches of PKGBUILDs
to bugs.archlinux.org, but I don't think a trivial version bump will be
accepted as a valid bug, as the bug tracker says: "Do NOT report bugs for
outdated packages!"

Since links package has been flagged out of date for almost one month, I can't help myself to contribute a patch and stop bugging maintainer to package an updated version.
I hope this is the right place to submit the patch.
------ Upgrade links to version 2.13
