If I have a link part in a second level assembly that has free rotate, is there a way to align it to another linkage part in the higher up assembly?
Also, is ther a way that I can make the part 'adaptively' stretch to fit based on assembly constraints?

No.
SolidWorks doesn't do that.
Now go back to Inventor.

Yes.
Look into flexible subassemblies and in-context relations.
You sound like a new user coming from Inventor. Go ahead and work through the tutorials so you know the SW vocabulary and way of doing things.
Yes, I have 6 year experience with inventor, but I also have 4 years experience with Solidworks. I just never had to do lower assy level mating or 'adaptive' things before in Solidworks.
One of the tricky things about working in 2 CAD systems is learning and remembering the vocabulary. I knew I could do the flexible assembly thing,because I didn't know what it was called, I couldn't find it in help.
Thanks for the pointer.
So, what does Solidworks call 'adaptive' (stretch to fit)?
