Please be aware there _is no_ target name. All the hardlinks to
a file have the same status.

As for renaming (IIUC) if you want to rename all the file entries
together, you can pick up any instance's inode with ls, then use
find <mount-point> -inum <num>
to find all the other instances in the filesystem. Naturally,
do this in a script.

Cheers,
David.
