Based on Andre's comment I have an idea with a different approach that may help.
What if MediaWiki would have a special page indicating which linked images/files on the wiki would have no actual file available locally or on commons/a shared filestore? That way wiki administrators could more easily get insight in file/image red links and Commons administrators would have to delink 'off site' a lot less, since local wiki administrators would have a more comprehensive insight in their red links related to images/files; together with the Commons Ticker, I may even be no longer required to delink off-site if the admin 'does not feel like doing it.'
I have searched http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org and haven't been able to find a feature request for such a feature at the moment. As far as I know this feature is currently not available, although functionality may be closely related to that of Special:Wantedpages. If this approach would serve both commons admins and local wiki admins, I think it would be worth trying to get this feature built.
