Dovecot, pigeonhole and hardlinks

Hi list,
many moons ago I asked about preserving hardlink between identical 
messages when pigeonhole (for sieve filtering) was used.

The reply was that, while hardlink worked well for non-filtered 
messages, using pigeonhole broke the hardlink (ie: some message-specific 
data was appended to the actual mail file). Here you can find the 
original thread: 
https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2015-November/102579.html

I would ask the same things today: is dovecot+pigeonhole capable of 
storing the same incoming message, sent to multiple rcpt or to a 
group/alias expanding in multiple recipients, as a single hardlink?

Note: I know about SIS, but it has some important drawback and I would 
avoid using it.

Thanks.
