[TYPO3-core] RFC: Small change in tmpl->linkData

I don't know if it's worth to argue about it anymore, but of course I am
aware of this!

The function makeSimulFileName uses $type (not $this->type!) but it could be
any other key because this is just the 3rd part of the simulated filename.
It does NOT touch the internal type value in any way!

I've made an XCLASS of tslib_fe that simply replaces the makeSimulFileName.

Again, this does not touch the internal "type" property of tslib_fe!

Interesting, right. However, I don't like this postProc hook very much
because it slows down the link generation with redundant stuff. However,
you are right, this is probably the only way for me (the extension may
become a core feature if there is enough interest?) to go... :-(
