We should have a method for getting path variable information for the location 
of a linked resource.

In the resource properties page we display the location which is calculated 
from #getLocation() which is the resolved location.

I don't believe that there is currently any way to see what variable your 
linked resource uses.

Need to talk to the Platform/UI team to see if this is necessary.

Done.  New API method IResource.getRawLocation() returns the location of linked
resources and projects with the variable name intact.  This has been released to
HEAD (along with new tests).
