no, and why would you? Each chain comes with it's own link, which lasts the life of the chain. As the chain pins wear so do the ones on the link so if you keep the same link on your chain for life, all the pitches will match.
But if you use a worn link on a new chain or vice versa, you'll have a chain with 111 identical links and one that is different. In extreme cases you'll hear it click-click (faintly) as it goes through the cassette.
