A good friend of mine sent me an interesting question a while back, "Dear Dave, can you give me some pointers on how search engines determine link intent?"
It's hard to say what constitutes 'intent' when it comes to various aspects of linking and search engines. It really isn't that straight forward and understanding 'query intent' tends to be the most researched area for search peeps.
And as far as patents/papers, I doubt there is really much out there specifically on intent beyond some papers such as; Recognizing Nepotistic Links on the Web Or Detecting Nepotistic Links by Language Model Disagreement and there is more in CJ's post on detecting paid links - there are a whack of papers at the end of that one.
