In your own code, you could explicitly "get" them.  For example,

own.linkfun <- get("own.linkfun", env=globalenv())
  ...

However, this isn't a great design.  What if the user wants to work on 
two different models, with different link functions?  It would be better 
to pass the functions (or a list containing them) to your code as 
arguments to the call to your function.  That's how glm() does it.
