Description

Try e.g.

link blah blah

Where blah doesn't exist in your codebase. There should be a nice error message here.

Preferably consolidate the code so that any error where a term or type is not found displays the same message, regardless of the command.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Search the codebase for existing error messages in link/unlink commands, then refactor to centralize the missing term/type error logic.
