We are working on a similar feature.

However we are not modifying the code but 
greping the logfile for  "not found" and then proceeding from there.
Of course you have to be wary of a server being down!
In an earlier version there were  "not found" error message also contained
the URL of the page which the reference came from. This  was useful.

If, as I have asked earlier, the keyword database  had the 
URL of the anchors on the page as keywords, we could then search for which
pages
were calling specific pages.
