Access to elements of $

In order to create symlinks in PowerShell, you need to use the following command :

New-Item -Path C:\temp\myLink -Target C:\Users\{me}\Documents\target.txt -ItemType SymbolicLink

I would like to implement a more straightforward syntax as shown below :

"C:\temp\myLink", "C:\Users\{me}\Documents\target.txt" | Ln

Ln is a filter defined as such :

filter Ln {
     New-Item -Path $_[0] -Target  $_[1] -ItemType SymbolicLink
}

However, it doesn't work, and I would like to know how to access single elements of $_, for instance in our case shouldn't we have $_[0] == "C:\temp\myLink" ?

Thanks in advance for your help !
