No, as the URL of a link is not displayed at all in the HTML preview. However, if you switch to plain text preview (either permanently using the toolbar popup menu, or temporarily by option-clicking the found file in the result list), then a header shows all the indexed metadata and yes, the found URL will be highlighted in this header. But there will be no indication of the display name of the URL, or of its location in the document.

A different implementation would be to insert the URL into the plain text content, after the link name (e.g. between brackets); however I don't think this should be the default behavior, and there are already too many advanced settings.
