Sure, but why not help him or her a bit - that's the reason we have 
computers. It's a tad hard to read and compare file names on all the 
clips out there, but if you have for example a chain icon and the same 
color for all linked clips, it gets much easier to spot each linked set. 
Discoverability rules ;)

I don't think that this will be asked too often. Besides, you can add an 
"Always do this" checkbox together with options in the clip context menu 
to explicitly request one of the two actions (again, possibly offering a 
"Do it always from now on" option in cases where the user has chosen an 
action that is not the current default).
