Ability to Restrict Issue Linking to Issues on Particular Status

Currently, JIRA is able to restrict Issue Linking when an Issue is in a Particular status using the permission restriction on workflow properties

However, this does not prevent the issue from being linked from other workflow statuses.

My customer's use case as such:

◾Disable the ability of Issue A, being blocked by Issue B, from entering the "Closed" state. (using JIRA Workflow Toolbox plugin)
◾Transit the state from "Closed" to another appropriate state when Issue B transits out of the "Closed" state.
◾Disable the ability of adding a link to Issue A when it is closed (using jira.permission.link.group.1=AN_EMPTY_GROUP)

However, when opening up any issue to create a link, I can still search and apply the link "Blocks" to Issue A, effectively bypassing the jira.permission.link I set up. Is there any way for me to ensure that links with "Blocks" are not created to a closed issue?

In simple, would like to prevent issues from being linked to a particular status.
