atom link is not the appropriate place to do something like
this. The  
issue of
the server telling the client what resources implement POST
is  
addressed by
the Atom Publishing Protocol[1] in the form of collections.
If you  
need to
communicate more details, you'd have to use an extension
such as
atompub-features[2] (its intention though is to enable
services to  
declare
behavioural aspects of a collection and not to declare an
input form but
atompub-feature's controls can be used much like a forms
language).

HTH,
