emc2 offers "feedhold" and "adaptive-feed" pins in HAL (the latter is
activated by M52, not on by default). It's possible that a new
component (or ladder logic or a combination of existing components in
HAL) could use position error to manipulate feedhold or adaptive-feed
and allow a recovery shortly after a stepper stall.

There are a lot of details to work out, it's more a matter for research
and experimentation than "yes, simply add a few lines to your HAL file".
