3.16 new Link skills

Hi everyone, I couldn't find any information about those skills mechanic on YouTube. The question I am interested in is if it is possible to link for example Reaper. I'm asking because it is written "targets an allied player" but at the same time Reddit and YouTube is full of videos about linking minions. Can anyone explain how that mechanic properly works?

Link clearly state that they can target "allied players", and that's it. Minions are not "allied players", just Allies.

That said, I've heard that one of the Minion masteries allows you to put link on your minions. I wonder what happens when you Link to a duration-based minion and it goes time up. PoE do sure have wonderful ways to let you suicide...

You can get that in the new Mastery system on the passive tree. It's one of the options in Minion Defence Mastery.
