Default linking multiple workbooks (VBA)

What are you trying to link. If you want the charts to change based on the
selection made in the listbox, then you would set up a defined name in each
workbook with charts that references the cell the listbox is linked to.
Have this defined name refer to a dynamic formula that defines the data to
be referenced. Then make this the source for your chart.

Other than that, you would need to provide more details on what you mean by
link.

Some references:
The easy way is to use named ranges defined by formulas - dynamic ranges:
