Are you looking for a quick way to add new items to a SharePoint link list using PowerShell? Let me show you how to use PowerShell to create a new list item in SharePoint:
Here is the PowerShell script to add a new item to the SharePoint link list:

Function Add-LinkListItem($WebURL, $ListName, $LinkURL, $LinkTitle)
{
try
{
$ErrorActionPreference ="Stop"
#Get the Web
$Web = Get-SPWeb $WebURL
#Get the link list
$List = $web.lists[$ListName]
#Create a new item
$NewItem = $list.Items.Add()
#Add properties to this list item
$NewItem["URL"] = "$($LinkURL), $($LinkTitle)"
#Update the object so it gets saved to the list
$NewItem.Update()
write-host "New Item has been Added to the List!"-foregroundcolor Green
}
catch [System.SystemException]
{
write-host "New Item Creation failed due to:" $_.Exception.Message -foregroundcolor Red

#Dispose web object
$web.Dispose()
$ErrorActionPreference ="Continue"
}
}
#Call the function to Add new list item
Add-LinkListItem "https://sharepoint.crescent.com/" "Quick Links" "https://intranet.crescent.com" "Crescent Intranet"
