You should create a ghostpad on the two pipelines so that they look like
normal elements. You can then link them together. The reason is that a
pad from an element inside a bin is not visible outside of the bin and
you can thus not link it with elements outside of the bin. Ghosting the
pad will make it visible and linkable

Note that linking two pipelines is perfectly possible but might not be
what you want, you'll end up with 2 independent busses, 2 independent
clocks,... Putting 2 bins in one pipeline, as Edward suggested, might be
more what you want perhaps.
