The "possible link" is that the author thinks 'Oumuamua might be aliens, and UAPs might be aliens, and therefore the two might be linked. That's it. There, saved you a click.
This is quality "many people are saying" content.

And there it is. Shame on the Scientific American

#13> "In fact, there should be a quadrillion ‘Oumuamua-like objects within the solar system at any given time, if they are distributed on random trajectories with equal probability of moving in all directions."
There is always the possibility that we only observed a very, very rare event. Just by enough very rare events being possible, it is bound to happen that we observe one of them one day. All in all it just reminds me a bit of p-hacking/data fishing.

The specific claim is that if the US is acknowledging these objects publicly as real and denying they are of US origin, then it is likely they are not human in origin, because if they could possibly be adversaries, this would not be being disclosed.
This is sound reasoning, but is based upon the beginning assumptions which are not yet fully determined to be true, and if determined to be true would not rule out non-human, natural origins.

>If UAP originated from China or Russia and were a national security risk, their existence would have never been revealed to the public.
I agree with that part.
However, I think it's more reasonable to assume it belongs to the US Government, which would perfectly explain why they don't really view it as a threat.

#16This article is an ad for the guy’s book.
If the article is representative then the book is not very good.

#19This article makes a lot of leaps but I think it does show that the reach of the implications of any kind of tacit confirmation of the "UAPs are real, solid objects flying around at high Gs" hypothesis would have pretty broad reach in terms of consequences to other observed, unexplained phenomena.

#20Avi Loeb was on Event Horizon earlier this week talking about this. It was pretty disappointing. When he first started on this whole 'Oumuamua is a space craft thing, I thought it was an interesting but unlikely hypothesis and he was acting in good faith. After this latest round of press from him about UAPs and other nonsense, I am sure he is just cashing in. Just watch... he'll be an 'expert' on Ancient Aliens next.
