hard links vs symlinks

[Piscium <groknok gmail com>]

The symlink command (C-x s) by default pre-fills the name of the
selected file on one side on the folder of the other side.

The hard link command (C-x l) behaves differently, it does not
pre-fill any name. I suppose that the only way to have the hard link
command pre-fill the name similar to the the behaviour for the symlink
would require a code change? Or is there a configuration option
somewhere for it?
