A link checker for TW5 would be a useful thing. I don't know if it's any longer going to be practical to do it in the browser, though - most browsers now enforce the same domain origin policy, which means that it would only be possible to check links within the same domain as the tiddlywiki file. I'm not sure how the same domain origin policy is applied by IE within the Intranet zone.
I've been thinking about link checking as part of a more ambitious suite of features concerned with linking. The idea is to (optionally) represent external links with a proxy tiddler that incorporates the link itself, and also a thumbnail image, and a snippet of text. Then the link checking part could record the status of the link target within the tiddler itself (perhaps with a "date last successfully retrieved" field). The code to link checking and thumbnailing would have to run under node.js - although there may be scope to migrate some of those functions to a browser extension of some kind.
