That requirement could be inferred from the example objects, but it's not in the spell as written. The item merely needs to have been taken from the location.Certainly, using the helm of teleportation in this manner is pretty much exactly what it’s useful for.

Pebbles on the floor may have been tracked there from orcish boots. Break off a fresh chunk of something, then its link is unambiguous.
