I assume you've tried the obvious stuff for your automator shell script call.. cd to the directory first then loop through the dropped files.
cd /my/target/directory for f in "$@" do ln "$f" "Plink-$(basename "$f")" done basename removes path information and returns just the filename portion, so it should default the link to the current directory. Alternatively, you could do the same, but add a path inside the quotes before Plink, but the "basename" would still be necessary of course, while obviating the need for the cd line. .
