      We extend the results of our previous paper [ibid., 275-296 (1996; Zbl 0872.57010) see the review above] from knots to links by using a formula for the Jones polynomial of a link derived recently by N. Reshetikhin. We establish a relation between the parameter of this formula and the multivariable Alexander polynomial. This relation is illustrated by an example of a torus link. We check that our expression for the Alexander polynomial satisfies some of its basic properties. Finally we derive a link surgery formula for the loop corrections to the trivial connection contribution to Witten's invariant of rational homology spheres.
