Ævar already answered "no", presumably saying that you can't do this, but
I'd like to add:
The main reason I was thinking of this was for a
variation on
{{otheruses}} which could be added to these parenthesised articles
automagically.
Please don't do this. We do not want these links. The links are
supposed to be a navigational help for people who were looking for
something other than what they are looking at; but nobody looking at
a parenthesised page could have got there without explicitly
looking for it.
Interesting. I had assumed that Phil wanted to link to
[[{{PAGENAMENOPARANTHESES}} (disambiguation)]], which could be mildly useful
in primary topic disambiguation cases.
Shows how we all think differently, I suppose. :-)
