Links SQL v2.1.1 supports the ability to add a link into multiple categories in one step, but multiple select form for category selection is not available yet in the add.cgi at the moment (as I know).

Solutions:
1) Create yourself manually the category list into add.html template, as multiple select form (if did not try it myself, but should work). If your categories changes often, this workaround is not good. Not a difficult task, just open the source of the add.cgi page, and copy out the <select ... >... </select> part from there, and add the multi=xx attrib into it. Could be possible to do that even daily, not a difficult task, tough.
or
2) Create a global to generate multiple select form with categories for you. I'm sure the forum members will help you out with a global for that task.
or
3) Best solution will be my Xtended Add.Modify.Delete. plugin (XAMD), which will add many features & options for add-modify-delete related pages. However, this plugin is the last on my development list, and I don't know when will I finish it (there could be even 6-8 months until the likely release). Currently most features of the plugin already works, including your wanted feature, but there is still what to do on it.
If it's not urgent, then you could wait for the plugin. The plugin will solve your problem and you'll get a lot more features & options.
