Comment:

 A hook would definitely be nice here.

 I developed a plugin a few months ago
 ([http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/better-internal-link-search/ Better
 Internal Link Search]), without realizing this ticket existed, to modify
 the results and ended up having to filter the AJAX request and recreate a
 bit of `wp_link_query()`. The plugin adds a whole lot of useful features
 and improvements and can be easily extended for anyone that needs this
 functionality right away. If any of it looks useful for core, I'm happy to
 help learn how to contribute.
