11 - Mining/Smelting cannot be linked
Mining/smelting is not a linkable profession as of 3.3 and continuing into 4.0.1. This is a Blizzard bug.
Consequently, ProfessionVault cannot show you the smelting tradeskill UI of another toon.
Please provide any additional information below.

But since I have this link in the tradeskill window itself, which I don't have when going online with Blizzard's standard UI, I believe there must be a way to work around the standards. So I will keep on searching.

I've done an exhaustive search on spellids and databits and come to the conclusion that it's simply not possible on the live client, but perhaps I missed something :)
Note some addons (like Ackis and Armory) provide a link, but it does not work (ie open a TradeSkillUI) when clicked.

One of these addons seems to provide the linkable profession icon.
I will have to check which of these addons is in charge of supplying the tradeskill icon and let you know. Please be patient, since I am bugtesting a couple of addons on the German client at the moment, and also still have some more translations to work on.
Cheers,
