Speaking personally, if I notice a "full" link then I'll likely as not pass over it. If I notice an "empty" link then I'm much more likely to consider whether I could write an article on the subject.
This goes back to the comment about coloring links to stubs differently then articles. Which I also think is a good idea. If there could also be a header on the page of a stub that indicates it as such. That will do a lot for diffusing people's criticism's of Wikipedia's quality if they do find a stub.
