No, I entirely do not think so because the focus on document oriented messaging is lost and I consider that essential.
I'd only use link headers to provide hypermedia that is not very domain specific but rather general, for example
- service documents
- nex,previous,up,down
- versions
Occasionally this could be loosened but I'd not recommend to stuff the domain semantics in a bunch of headers.
