If you're talking about hard links, there is no directionality.  All 
hard links are equivalent pointers to the same inode.

Symbolic links, on the other hand, are pointers from one filename to 
another.  A symbolic link in a chroot environment can't point outside of 
it, because the target is interpreted relative to the chroot.
