    Is it for breaking unintentional links, where two blobs of solder have run together?

    Is it the soldering equivalent of 'Buffer bridge'?

    not sure what "buffer bridge" is, but i'm sure it's not that

    more clues: it does not touch the solder itself, it is a thing in it's own right with a specific function

    Does it go in an empty hole in a circuit board so that solder doesn't block the hole? (So that you can then place your next component in the hole)

    Ah, but does it touch the FLUX? like some sort of tiny pippette for applying tiny ammounts of flux?

    no

    it's a single solid piece of plastic, no holes or moving parts

    no

    it is not used on solder, flux, board, glue, ink, solvent or components

    What do the markings say, or will that give the game away?

    they relate to temperature, 80°C is mentioned, twice

    /waits for someone to ask if the colour changes at 80°C
