How do links work?

Ive thought that ever since ive started playing, the linked support gems had to be next to the skill gems to have any effect, but ive just read something, that makes me believe, that as long as a link exists, the gem does not have to be next to a support gem, is that true?
Right, the gems just have to be linked, position doesn't matter.

think of it as paths: as long as there is a path between your skill gem and the support gem - and it can work with it in terms of type - it will support your gem.

one thing I'm not sure about though, is various trigger gems and skills triggered by them.
I think there the distance does matter, and skills closer to the trigger gem will activate first.

Yeah, that's where positioning does matter, although it isn't determined by proximity, it triggers left to right then top to bottom
1 2
3 4
5 6

Also, in the case of trigger gem setups in multiple items being triggered at once, gear slots follow the similar pattern, main hand - helm - off hand - chest - gloves - boots.

I thought it follows the linked line, starting at the top left. If the link line would be 1-2-4-3-5-6 then 4 would trigger before 3. At least that's how i understand the wiki entry of CWDT, but i may be wrong.

Well I'll be... that appears to be correct, serves me right for never taking ten minutes to test it myself and trusting those that apparently did it halfassed.
