HDMI Link is an app that allows you to stream HDMI video sources into a Quest 2, Quest 3 or Quest Pro.
This isn't a Quest Link / Airlink style though, you won't have HDMI VR into the headset to avoid Link compression. What this does is allow you to connect your headset to a HDMI capture device and stream the video into a floating panel.
Unfortunately I can't find my USB-A to USB-C adapter to connect my Quest 3 to my Elgato HDMI capture device, so I can't test right now.
One caveat: HDCP protected video will show up as just black. So you won't be able to watch DVDs, Blurays, Netflix, Prime, etc sources. (Unless your HDMI capture device ignores HDCP)

Been playing around with this new feature and got some excellent results.
I’m using a UGreen 1080p 60hz card and to my surprise it works with an Apple TV 4K box (using a previous gen), audio airpod pro 2.
Recognized as an SDR display so benefits of the Apple HDR to SDR conversion wich is very good imo.
Using INFUSE PRO to stream it gives the flex to shift srt subtitles etc. and no BT audio delays (Airpods connected to ATV).
I have the usual quest vr players like skybox vr and 4xVR but playing HDR content is compromised. VD with Kodi / tonemappibg is excellent as well but wifi 6 is recommended to avoid stutters.
Using the ipad/iphone to capture the image is also significantly smaller compared to ATV 4K.

Interesting. If that works, I might grab one.
