'field' variable lost in theme_link_formatter_link_default()

Any news on this topic?!

Okay.. I found the problem. link_teme() does not implement the 'field' variable.

Add it like so:

/**
 * Implements hook_theme().
 */
function link_theme() {
  return array(
    'link_formatter_link_default' => array(
      'variables' => array('element' => NULL, 'field' => NULL),
    ),
    // ...
}

For anyone else encountering the same Problem: You may implement a hook_theme_registry_alter in a custom module to fix that like so:

/**
 * Implements hook_theme_registry_alter().
 */
function yourmodule_theme_registry_alter(&$theme_registry) {
  if (isset($theme_registry['link_formatter_link_default']) && isset($theme_registry['link_formatter_link_default']['variables'])) {
    if (empty($theme_registry['link_formatter_link_default']['variables']['field'])) {
      $theme_registry['link_formatter_link_default']['variables']['field'] = NULL;
    }
  }
}

... for better theming flexibility. Just imagine you would like to use some special markup for just one field on a specific entity bundle... With those variables passed, you will be able to do so.
