Hi Dan,
To my knowledge, there is no such a thing, and there is not enough information
in the LDraw library format to be able to do this. A parts connection database
was partially developed which would help with this, but so far it has minimal
implementation and only used for snap together parts in a CAD editor.
I find this idea very interesting.
