Would it be especially complicated to add the namespace=? parameter to the "What links here?" mechanism?
I would be quite happy to add it to the URL manually at first, but this would be most useful ploughing through huge lists of links trying to make out whether something is actually being linked to meaningfully.

This functionality would really be very useful for what I'm wanting to do right now...

There hasn't been a reply. But the answer to your question is "no, it wouldn't be especially complicated", especially since you stress that you don't need a UI for it.
To find someone to code it may be the harder part. Last time I did something like this it was reverted with a snide remark from Brion, so I'm not doing this again.

To get someone to _code_ it should be easy (just ask here and mediawiki-I). To get someone to commit it to CVS could be more challenging.
You wouldn't believe the number of RFEs/bugs I've submitted to mediazilla with patches. http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&email1=Astronouth7303%40gmail.com&emailtype1=exact&emailassigned_to1=1&emailreporter1=1 The only one that was integrated into CVS was #1328, for eAccelerator shm support, and I had to really push for that one in IRC until Brion commited it.

I filed a mediazilla feature request for this.
