There is a technical problem with this. The only reasonable way to actually get the links on various sites (and by this i mean, one install of the link script and you have various sites you can manage links on) would be to deliver them to the end point with javascript - at which point they would no longer be "hard links".

Can't do an "include" because of various scripts (some using smarty, some using our templating system, some using god knows what) because you can't (or shouldn't) include remote files because every pageload would be your server sending and waiting on an http request just to get some links, which would slow your site down. You can't use an iframe because that wouldn't be hardlinks either. You can't load asyncronously with jquery because of cross-domain issues.

So while the idea is not bad, and frankly it can be written in 1 day and we'd probably release it as a free script (with maybe a link to some site of ours or something) - i'm not sure how to get around these problems to actually make it useful.
