Please read your own information URLs to understand what is a hardlink. Also in the first URL you can learn why hardlink is not counted in the total folder size.

Why? IMHO hardlink can not be broken...

On the left side of the screenshot there is a hardlink but when I scan with Sagelinks he did not find hardlinks at all.
I use Link shell extension it add an different overlay to symlink, hardlink & junction but I'd like to be able to find it more quickly with Sagelinks.

Why you need hardlinks?
from sagelinks.
Cause it's more EZ to find which are the "real" files and take space on the disk and which one are "hard link". Also it's more EZ to visualize the structure of the disk when I know where are the different links to know what is virtual and what is real (files &folders).
A good example is in the WinSxS folder

Hard link is a real file/folder. So hard link cannot be broken and no point in SageLinks usage.
from sagelinks.
A Hardlink (like the name suggest) is a link like junctions, and symbolic links and NOT a real file. Also Folders CAN'T be hard-linked only files on the same volume.
There is ONLY 3 .bin files in this folder AND a Hardlink that take ZERO space on disk (even if the system see the size of the original file it is only a pointer to the file embedded in the NTFS file system)
