@FabienSnauwaert: In case you are not aware, at the time of OP’s question (2013), "body-ok" didn’t exist yet, so my answer was accurate back then. Also note that zgreen’s answer is not complete, as it misses the case with the property attribute which I described in my answer. –– Thanks for the notice. I’ll edit my answer to include the additonal cases.

@EdwardTouw: Yes; you MUST give the href attribute in any case. So as long as the link element has an itemprop attribute, you may use it in the body. Then it no longer is metadata for the whole document (like it would be the case for usual link elements in the head), but a "hidden" element for Microdata.

Thanks! So if I understand correctly, I'm allowed to use the <link> tag in the body as long as it contains an itemprop attribute? And as long as the itemprop attribute is included, I can also include href as used in my original question?
