Can this module be modified (hook?) to check if the field already exists?

You really need to provide a lot more information about this ticket. I have no idea what you mean or want.

I am trying to think of another way to ask it.

I have a node that allows you to enter a link. I enter mylink.com and save it.
Another user later goes to add the same link. Is it possible to return a message saying, "This link has already been added"

Does that help?

Okay, so you want to check if a link value already exists when a link is added.

Do you want it to only check on this entity? On this entity bundle? On this entity type? On all instances of this field? On all instances of the link field throughout the site?

I'll admit that this seems to be a pretty corner case for the module, although it doesn't seem like it would be that hard to implement as a module in itself, really.
