Yes, but the problem is that web-sites tend to move, or be re-organised. However, if Millennia could implement a function to check web-sites, then this would be an excellent idea. The simplest approach would be to implement a "Check external web-links" button. This would then produce a short list of any unsuccessful site accesses. Of course, one could get really sophisticated with this sort of thing. For example, Legacy could automatically check any linked sites once a day, and if the web access fails, make a note. If a web-site access fails several times over the course of a several days (or however often Legacy is started), then report to the user that the site has been "unavailable" for some time. It would be nice if it could also scans Notes individual/marriage notes as well as sources, for web-addresses and then check them as described above. I suspect that this is all asking a bit much of Millennia, but would be, in my opinion a valuable resource for maintaining the integrity of our data-bases.
