Probably this is an obvious thing, but I am not sure about it. I created websites for my clients, and I am allowed to place back-links to my portfolio site. I placed a link in the footer, but I am interested to also place it into the html head. Is there any way to achieve this?
I have seen code lines like this:
<link rel="author" href="https://example.com">
I am sure that the author relation is not the proper value for that.

(Assuming HTML5)
Don’t use author
You are right, you shouldn’t use author, as this link type is for the author of the page (if used in head), which typically refers to the actual content on that page.
Valid link types
You may only use link types that are
defined in the HTML5 spec, or
registered in the Microformats wiki on the page microformats.org/wiki/existing-rel-values#HTML5_link_type_extensions.
There doesn’t seem to be an appropriate link type for the web designer/developer/master.
Alternatives
structured: use RDFa or Microdata with an appropriate vocabulary
unstructured: use humans.txt
