No.  I guess your options boil down to (if local policies allow some of
these): 1) install the CA certificate on the proxy server so it
recognizes it as trusted, or 2) configure the proxy to not check
certificates, or 3) configure/relocate things so that the link checker
can access the target service without going through the proxy.
