No...... but this shouldn't be too hard to hack in. You'd need to snag the "add" hook, and have short routine that would send the link to the link checking routines, and look for a 200 status code on return. You'd probably want to do this from the user add routines, rather than the admin add, since the admin can check a link simply by clicking the "view" before add.
It looks like verify-child has a routine "check_link" that accepts a URL and returns a status code. You could start there.
I'm kind of lost in how it all connects together, since verify-child.pl seems to run, but I don't see where it returns, or inserts, the status anywhere.
Of course, I'm still pretty foggy from the accident.
