Comment (by jackdewey):

 One thing to consider when migrating links data over to the post table as
 a CPT is that some link-related plugins rely on the current link IDs. In
 the case of my plugin, I created a separate custom database table to
 extend the links data model. This table uses the same link IDs as its
 primary key and to associate data with the links table.

 I suggest storing the old link ID as a post meta data field to facilitate
 backwards compatibility.
