I appreciate the effort in providing a solution to this problem.
But, as I came to know, the "make link" is not really missing from Nautilus, but just disable by default.
All it takes is getting into Nautilus Preferences > Behavior (tab) and check the box for "Link Creation". After that, "create link" option comes back to contextual menu.
