You can warn that with some documentation, but no you cannot made a symlink warn on access. They are resolved by the kernel, and kernel has no warning mechanism against user space. It allows calls to either succeed completely, error out before attempting, abort and rollback with error, or kill the process if it passes a point of no return.
