Previously the enum values were specific to the context in which a link was used. The new values describe the link format, such as whether to include preview information or type parameters or bounds. Other link properties that previously depended on this enum were moved into separate boolean flags as they are orthogonal to the link format and would have needlessly inflated the enum class. In some other cases the calling code had to be adapted slightly to generate the desired output.
