I don't get how linking to 404 pages works in terms of link building. Can anyone please explain?

Are you possibly talking about finding links on other sites that go to 404 pages????

Broken link building is a tactic whereby you find a broken link, recreate the dead content, then tell anyone linking to the dead resource to instead link to your recreated content. It works because nobody wants dead links on their website; they contribute to a poor user experience.

According to Brian Dean, Broken Link Building (also known as Dead Link Building) is the practice of building backlinks by replacing links to 404 pages with a working link to a target website.
