In this case happen only on multi-page files like pdf (with the PdfHandler extension) to generate the thumbs for next/prev link. In that case no linking is needed

Ugh 😞, thanks for stopping the bleeding @Umherirrender

Adding a module in the middle of Linker could be wrong as that function is used on many places in core. Not sure if other places needs the module as well.

It's a good point. I will audit other callers and see what needs doing.
