I am afraid not, which is understandable if you consider how quickly the messages evolve—the page would get obsolete very soon.
I always look into the source code to see where a message is used, but that requires at least a basic PHP (and probably also MediaWiki) knowledge.

Because of this problem, Siebrand suggested Use case descriptions http://nike.users.idler.fi/betawiki/K%C3%A4ytt%C3%A4j%C3%A4:Siebrand#Use_cas... They're now available for many (though not all) messages on Betawiki.
