Yes, but both adjectives and adverbs can do that, and are called subject complements. Adjectives that follow a linking verb modify the subject, and are called predicate adjectives.
Adverb example:
"It is here." The adverb here tells where it is.
"It is very hard." The adverb, though following the verb, modifies the adjective, hard.

No, adverbs do not follow linking verbs. Linking verbs connect the subject of a sentence to a subject complement, such as an adjective or a noun. Adverbs typically modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, but they do not function as subject complements following a linking verb.
