Couldn't you track the link changes based on the binlogs content? It'd be quite low level, but already feasible.
Er, assuming that the user is keeping binlogs, and using MySQL for that matter. And assuming your application has filesystem read access to the binlogs, which would be approximately equal to having read access to all databases for security purposes. And assuming that they're kept forever, or that you're okay with having your history truncated every time the binlogs are. Which is a lot of assumptions.
I was merely assuming a toolserver scenario. So mysql is used, having read access isn't a big deal and sensitive data isn't replicated (i think). Plus, why keeping them forever? You probably only want a small time fraction, for tracking changes. Thus the new field would be useless for many entries.
