I have a couple of services on my network that uses link-local IPs. However all link local packets are blocked by pfsense. Is there a way to whilelist link-local packets?

Blocked from where to where? Link local is just that: Link local. Link local traffic on the local subnet does not use the firewall at all, nor can it be routed.

DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!
