you are over thinking it.

start in a blank file
use the bone tool on the top of the screen.
start on one side of the grid and click going across the grid for as many "links" as you want to have.

then select the fist bone click the bone tool and left and then click on the last bone you now have a very straight ik chain. with and ik target at the end.

you can with the normal move tool grab any bone "aka link" and drag it around. It's not exactly like a physical chain but it is very close.

the attachment is kind of an extreme example but you will get the idea
