Thanks for the bug report. After watching the video, I got the impression that the problem is not that hard links are created, but that the full path is included in the symbolic link (hard links are something completely different).

This looks pretty much like bug 143527.

On Dolphin KDE 4 links show correct path and i can edit path on properties.
This bug has appeared with KF5 version Dolphin.

I cannot reproduce this here. The path is editable for me in the Properties dialog.
Comment 5 varlesh 2015-09-05 10:16:41 UTC 
If you copy any symbolic link to another directory ,link will be contained full path to (old) file or  (old) folder and will be spoiled.
For example:
file - /home/user/123
link - 456 to 123  (ln -s 456 123)
Link "456" created as symbolic link and not contained full path.
Link "456" should point to a file "123", but on Dolphin (KF5) this link contained full path "/home/user/123"
If copy link "456" to /home/, this link will be contained path "/home/user/123". This not right!!!
Link should be path "123".
You're right , this link edited. But why on properties show full path again?
Comment 6 varlesh 2015-09-05 11:15:46 UTC 
And more...
I make icon theme, and if clone from git my theme and copy folder icons to /usr/share/icons from Dolphin > all links will be spoiled. All links will be have full path. 
This bug very bad. I can't working normaly :(

Thanks, but if there is anything that is not covered by bug 143527, then please open a new bug report about it. If it's related to the Properties dialog, then the correct product is "frameworks-kio".

Something similar was reported again (bug 352927). This is really a behavior change from earlier versions. Sorry if I misunderstood you.
Comment 9 varlesh 2015-09-20 08:10:55 UTC
