This sounds something that would be more vocabulary related, rather than keyword. Keywords are used to convey information to help describe the JSON using the RDF data model, and link/unlink is not part of a data model. It might be used as part of a predicate description, perhaps from the Hydra vocabulary for describing APIs [1], or as a link relationship as defined in RFC5988 [2]. But, it really seems closer to the proposed (and expired) HTTP LInk and Unlink Methods [3]. In any case, I don’t see how that would be part of the JSON-LD data model.

As Pierre-Antoine suggested, maybe you could describe your use case further.
