Hello,
I am not quite sure about your requirement.
If you want to add the link button for all the items, then you could make use of ItemTemplate and add from mark-up itself.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadComboBox DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" HighlightTemplatedItems="true"
            DataTextField="LastName" DataValueField="LastName" ID="RadComboBox1" runat="server"
            AllowCustomText="true" OnItemCreated="RadComboBox1_ItemCreated">
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" Text="lButton1"></asp:LinkButton>
                <asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton2" runat="server" Text="lButton2"></asp:LinkButton>
            </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:RadComboBox>

In the case of you need LinkButtons as first two items, then you can do it in the RadComboBox1_ItemCreated event like below.

C#:

protected void RadComboBox1_ItemCreated(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBoxItemEventArgs e)
  {
      if (e.Item.Index < 2)
      {
          LinkButton lnkButton = new LinkButton();
          lnkButton.Text = "New LinkButton";
          e.Item.Controls.Add(lnkButton);
      }
  }

Feel free to share the comments.
