Yes. The only command processed inside \code is \link (plus support for
\example and \usage which go through the same processing).

Hmm, \dQuote is described in a section called
Marking text
The following logical markup commands are available for emphasizing or
quoting text.
and \code is described as
Indicate text that is a literal example of a piece of a program, e.g., a
fragment of @R{} code or the name of an @R{} object, using
@code{typewriter} font if possible.
Is `literal example' not warning enough? I'll add an explicit statement,
but this is the first time I have seen any indication that anyone thought
otherwise.
