I'm not sure where your .lnk files come from but:
have a look at ~/.dosemu/boot.log after running dosemu which directory
is used as drive C:
a line like:
device: /home/bart/.dosemu/drives/c type 4 h: -1  s: -1   t: -1 drive C=
:
in that case the config.sys file comes from ~/.dosemu/drives/c which
is normally set up as a symlink to ~/.dosemu/drive_c so that's indeed
where you should be looking.

However, in Debian/Ubuntu's DOSEMU (perhaps by accident) we have this:
/home/bart/.dosemu/drives:
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 bart users 26 avr 18 16:14 c -> /home/bart/.dosemu/drive_c
lrwxrwxrwx 1 bart users 23 avr 18 16:14 d -> /usr/lib/dosemu/drive_z

/home/bart/.dosemu/drive_c:
total 4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 bart users   32 avr 18 16:14 autoexec.bat ->
/etc/dosemu/freedos/autoexec.bat
lrwxrwxrwx 1 bart users   30 avr 18 16:14 config.sys ->
/etc/dosemu/freedos/config.sys
drwxrwxr-x 2 bart users 4096 avr 18 16:14 tmp

So config.sys is really a symlink to the file in /etc/dosemu/freedos.
But in dosemu installations from dosemu.org it's a writable file
*copied* from the system file so users can edit it in DOSEMU.

/home/bart/.dosemu/drive_c:
total 12
-rw-r--r-- 1 bart users  556 mai  6  2007 autoexec.bat
-rw-r--r-- 1 bart users  346 mai  6  2007 config.sys
drwxrwxr-x 2 bart users 4096 avr 18 16:16 tmp

So yes, either edit the /etc/dosemu/freedos files using a Linux editor
as root (but these affect all users!) or change the symlinks to
copies.
