If you want to track value links (keys and such) dont specify the  
target clause.   /type/link has source, target and target_value  
properties.
This will let you see the entire history of that object:

[{
   "type":      "/type/link",
   "source": {
     "id": "/guid/9202a8c04000641f800000000552fb38"
   },
   "operation": null,
   "*":         null,
   "timestamp": null,
   "sort":      "-timestamp"
}]
