This can be done with rsync\\_long\\_args, but the extra --link-dest argument is inserted before the default one \\(should be after like a rename-hints dir, see artifact \\#2901726\\) and the amount of information one has to hard-code is not pretty.  It would be nice to support this somehow in rsnapshot.
