Slapping `static` on `get` seems to make it work:

Good slap, thanks!
you solved my problem
I guess the compiler thinks that since `item.link` is an
instance member, it needs a `this`. And then `get` would need a
`this` too as it's using `item.link` via `member`. When the
compiler sees that there is no `this`, it errors out.
An explicit `static` forces the compiler to assume no `this`.
And it would error out if you actually tried to make use of it.
Naively, I'd think the compiler should be able to figure that
out itself.
I guess that is a dmd bug. I'll fill a report in case of.
