..the easy way, imho, is fake it and to do a Curve Pattern of the general profile/link along a Surface Sweep (image attached..)
See method VI at Threading Options. That Discussion is about creating threads, but the same principle would work for what you're trying to do.
Sweep the desired profile using a Helix as the path.
