That's what the flag button is for.
The only problem is that it's much harder to moderate links in Scratch projects than in the forums. Not only are there far more projects than posts, but it would be harder to find these links, and the feature could be more easily abused. Not only that, but it would be much harder to implement and enforce a rank system on the main site to prevent commercial spam.
I like the idea of a block that links you somewhere; I really do. It's just that there are a lot of downsides to consider.
