That is still true. You can use either -t or -C with the linker. You can
however pass -C *and* -t to the cl65 utility, which will pass -t to the
compiler and assembler and -C to the linker.

That depends on the tool. For assembler/compiler it's the character map. For
the linker, it's the config. And for the cl65 utility, it's the library.

With the exception of cl65, this is already the case:

        http://www.cc65.org/doc/ld65-2.html#option-t
        http://www.cc65.org/doc/ca65-2.html#option-t

For cl65, the section describing the command line switches is very short
because most switches are duplicated from one of the tools. But when the
function is described in

        http://www.cc65.org/doc/cl65-3.html

it is clearly mentioned that tool will suply the library name.

This is already the case. See above.
