Good question. I believe there are some tools, ColorThink maybe (?), which
allows extracting an ICC profile out a device link. But I'm not 100% sure.
If it would, I believe you'd end up with two profiles each with only half
the normal content of an ICC profile.
At any rate, a device link is a concatenation of two profiles, CMYK to CMYK
or RGB to CMYK or RGB to RGB. So it's a straight table that maps one device
onto another. By definition, it lacks the data structure to be used for
softproofing in Photoshop. That's probably why PS does not support them.

Does not everyone?

You can download a copy of the ICC specs at www.color.org or get yourself
one of the fine books that were recently cited on the list.
