Currently, no.
Everything will not see new hard links due to how Everything works with the USN Journal.

Not enough information is logged to the USN Journal for Everything to add a new hard link easily. Everything would need to re-read all the hard-links for the specified file FRN from the Master File Table -it's on my TODO list.

Forcing a rebuild would pick up the new hard link.
