Nope - linking is a TCS feature; importing can be done with or without TCS

I'm pretty sure that you can link RH to FM even if you're not using TCS
.. download the trial and give it a test to see how it works for you.
Also Webworks ePublisher can export to EPUB.
Other less expensive options may be ..
- save the FM files to Word, then use Calibre to convert from RTF to EPUB
- save the FM files to PDF and use one of the many available converters
to go from PDF to EPUB
- save to RTF or DOC and open in Atlantis Word Processor then output to EPUB
A list of authoring tools and converters is available here ..

YMMV.
Cheers,
