Ok, I think I understand what you want. I guess the easiest way is to add a new field via Database > Category > Properties > Add Field:

RelatedCatID / INT

Then enter the category ID. Then add a new global:

get_related_from_catid

Code:
sub { 
	my $link_db = $DB->table('Links','CatLinks'); 
	my $cat_id = $_[0]; 
	my $limit  = 50; 

	my @output; 
	$link_db->select_options ('ORDER BY Title', "LIMIT $limit"); 

   	my $sth = $link_db->select ( { CategoryID => $cat_id }) || die $GT::SQL::error; 


	while (my $link = $sth->fetchrow_hashref) { 
	    $link = Links::SiteHTML::tags('link', $link); 
		push @output, $link; 
	} 

	return { extra_links_loop => \@output }  
}

Call with:

Code:
<%if RelatedCatID%> 
    <%get_related_from_catid($RelatedCatID)%> 
    <%if extra_links_loop.length%> 
       <%include link.html%> 
    <%endif%> 
<%endif%>

Hopefully thats what your after ;) (totally untested!)
