Is it possible to remove the mandatory linking of duplicate workitem when a workitem is closed with resolution "Duplicate"?

This doesn't seem wise to me. Why would you want to do that?
Without that link, you won't know what it is a duplicate of, or what duplicates a work item might have. That seems to harm the traceability of change management.

Regardless if this is a good or bad idea, it is possible to remove and create links in a follow up action (also called participant). That is a Java based server extension that is configured in the project area. See https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2015/09/30/learning-to-fly-getting-started-with-the-rtc-java-apis/ especially https://jazz.net/library/article/1000 that explains how a follow up action is developed. There are additional code examples on the blog site that show parts of the API e.g. saving work items. https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/11/30/a-create-approval-work-item-save-participant/
