Lack of verb made me read this three times. "We can just treat linked worktree's path as if it were a submodule"?

I agree with you that the "submodule" in the name is misleading. We would want to be able to walk refs from other local repositories (and repository-like entities, like the .git/ thing in a liked worktree), like our own submodule, or the repository we borrow objects from via the alternate mechanism.
