Buttons of Hyperlinking

a pair of gems like opbjects that are able to be attached/slotted into body armour to link up to 2 pieces of armour together. Linking two pieces of armour this way would sacrifice a socket on each piece but essentially linking the sockets together through the power of these powerful 'buttons'. Putting one into body and one into a glove/boot/helmet (only armour options) you go from a maximum of 6 link up to a new limit of 8link skill.

no, for multiple reasons

1) 6 links is plenty, having 8 would be huge powercreep
2) even if you capped it at 6 link (gloves/boots/helm), now the cost of a 6link is practically zero. why bother spending 3-4 divines to 6link a chest, when i can just use 4link gloves+boots that cost 4 fuses each.
3) this powercreeps even harder when you consider glove/boots/helms that have 'socketed skills are supported by X' such as

game has already more than enough player power. we are not really in need for more power creep unless they rework and re-balance the the endgame around it hoho.

Yeah definitely not gonna happen imo.
We already have a couple possibilites to get more than 6 links :
- Squire
- Uul-Netol's vow
- Influenced gloves or helmets

would not mind a poor man's squire but it needs to come with some big penalty
