Default How reliable is NTFS crosslinked cluster detection and fix?

I remember that crosslinked clusters were a major problem in the days of
FAT, chkdsk would fix the crosslinking, but it seemed like chkdsk was
just guessing at where the files originally belonged, and sometimes it
would guess wrong.

I recently got some of the crosslinking errors under NTFS, or as it's
called now: "both (files) own logical cluster (...) ... found and fixed."

Is there some way that NTFS does this more surely than FAT? Like for
example, is it listed in the journaling files of NTFS?
