Well from your first post I would have given exactly the same answer as Ygrex, so it's you not explaining properly rather than us not understanding.

You can't.

Symbolic links are filesystem items that provide the filesystem code with a redirection when opening/closing files and directories.

They are interpreted by the filesystem itself, within the kernel - thus no user "parameters" are possible.

Now it is possible for the program to use the name it has been invoked by as a parameter - that is what the first parameter is (in C it is argv[0], in a shell script it is $0).
