I think the answer here is: If an application speaks Zeroconf/Bonjour natively, it can do everything correctly (which is true for instance with CUPS itself). This is because avahi will expose the interface where the device was discovered to the application. If you want to rely on just mDNS names using NSS, it won't be sufficient to access devices via IPv6 link-local addresses. Of course devices usually broadcast all of their addresses, of which some will be routable anyway. Kind regards Philipp Kern
