This is a good point, yes. I did not consider this.
I originally thought it would be a good idea to use "Technic Link" as
the first two words in the description, to make them sort next to each
other, then add "Chain" and "Tread" respectively to identify them.
Now, you've made me realize that the current part "2637.DAT Technic Link
16L" clutters this concept. Putting these three parts in the same
category should indeed be avoided. Thanks for making me aware of this.

You mean something like
Technic Tread Chain Link
Technic Tread 0.6 x 2.6
I don't think I like this too much.
I think perhaps that "Technic Chain" would be better? Perhaps
Technic Chain Link
Technic Chain Tread 0.6 x 2.6
But I'm not a native English speaker, so I may be wrongly biased.

Perhaps, yes. There is a part called "2739.DAT Technic Steering Link"
which looks much like the "2637.DAT Technic Link 16L". Perhaps these
two should be put in the same category somehow?
