If that's a criteria for you when looking for an employer, then that's your choice, but I personally would never expect such a thing.

The last time I had to interview (being an engineer), I was sent 7 resumes on a Monday for interviews being conducted on a Wednesday. I checked out any links they put on their resume, apps in the appstore, etc. If they did not feel they could be bothered to tell me about something, then it will remain a mystery to me.

"I checked out any links they put on their resume"

So... you did research on someone that made themselves researchable. Good job. That's what I expect, and I'd expect that you'd expect that too.

It wasn't clear from your original post that your links were in your CV / resume. Should be a lesson to those who want to showcase their "side" projects, LinkedIn profile (heavily checked now days), to put these ON your resume. I consistently fidn in screening Software, Web Dev's and designers asking them if they have an online profile, github, LinkedIn that the answer is yes, but is absent from the resume.
