You could always make a new table to store and fetch links, like a links script. Unless thats what your talking about anyway.

Wonder how many webmasters would do it? With no one to trade with..lol

I can see this could work with blog->LL also and visa versa.

No, you can use the link management part of WP. In fact, I still use a combination of both. This is a snippet of the code I am using:

<?php if (is_home()) 
{
        echo "<h2>Links</h2>";
        echo "<ul>";
        wp_get_linksbyname('walrus');
        echo "</ul>";
        echo "<ul>";
        wp_get_linksbyname('LL');
        echo "</ul>";
        echo "<ul>";
        echo implode ( "", file ( "http://www.pornfeedmaniac.com/bmlinks/more.php" ) );
        echo "</ul>";
} elseif (is_category('84')) {
echo "<h2>Links</h2>";
        echo "<ul>";
        echo implode ( "", file ( "http://www.pornfeedmaniac.com/bmlinks/butt.php" ) );
        echo "</ul>";
}

In the first part, I am defining what I want on my home page. As you can see, the wp_get_linksbyname() statements are calling specific categories I've set up with the WP links manager. The elseif selects the category ID which was created when I created the category. The rest is a call, to LO, but you could easily replace that with either the calls to specific link categories or a compeletely different script.

Clear as mud, I hope so, it's friday night and....well you know!

I decided to use Joomla for my blog because I design non-adult sites with that script. I am able to set-up content on select pages so I am capapble of category hard link trades though I've done none yet.
