How can I add the link to add another field to a custom data field

For which data input type do you want to specify multiple entry fields?
Admin can add as many options for multi-option fields like, radio, checkboxes, select, multi-select, etc

As of 3.0, we don't have an option for n-uploads for a file custom data type.
You could however do some custom coding to achieve this, since the code of multiple file uploads for Attachements is already in place.
You might wanna check buildAttachment method in CRM/Core/BAO/File.php

Hope that helps!

Another workaround could be to create a custom group with multiple records, you could specify "Maximum number of multiple records"
and then creating custom field of input type "File".

NB: Multi-Value custom data works only for tabbed and not inline custom data.

How do i add the "another" link to other field types like link or note?

If I am getting you right, you mean to ask how to add a custom field multiple times,(that is you want to add a couple of links / notes )
you might want to configure the custom group as multi-value.

CiviCRM enables you to enter multiple values for a custom group NOT a field, so as mentioned earlier you should create a custom group 
with Display Style = "Tab"
Does this Custom Data Group allow multiple records? = checked
NB: This works only for Contacts as of 3.0

You might wanna take a look here to check how it works,etc

But if it is tabbed then i cant see it when creating a new contact.

Yes

I need to enter the values when creating the contact...

You can't do that as of 3.0. The multi-value functionality is supported only for Tabs and NOT for inline as mentioned earlier.
