Yes.  *This* is the "HSRP with link local" feature, the other one is
called "HSRP for IPv6 with global addresses" or something like that.

It's not really a technical problem to use link-locals + interface here,
it's just "we don't do it in IPv4, so we don't think it should be done
in IPv6 that way" thinking that gets in the way.
