System Information
Operating system: Windows 10
Graphics card: GTX 1080Ti

Blender Version
Broken: 3.0.0 alpha - Asset Library Branch
Worked: n/a

Short description of error
Appended Objects work as expected but Link objects dont move, rotate or scale.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible).

Raising awareness no @JulianEisel, but usually we dont handle reports for feature branches here.
Thx reporting anyways, will archive for now (@JulianEisel might decide to reactivate though).

Linked objects cannot be transformed, this is by the very core design of Blender and it has always been like this. See https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/files/linked_libraries/link_append.html#link

To (indirectly) transform a linked object there are a couple of options:

Put it in a collection and instance that collection. The collection instance can be moved and moves contents along.
Create a library override.
Create a proxy (legacy feature, prefer library overrides).

@JulianEisel Thanks for the information
I understand not being unable to transform the object in anyway but
not being able to change non destructive attributes like position of the linked object
seem unintuitive, especially the assets you drag and drop from the asset library.
