When playing with a controller, first open the inventory by pressing Options (Xbox) or the Touchpad (PlayStation). Then, press LT (Xbox) or L2 (PlayStation) to open the chat window. With the chat window open, hover over the item you want to link by using the right stick. Lastly, press X (Xbox) or Square (PlayStation) to add the link.
