Yes and no. Sometimes I lose link and return to find that I'm "already playing" in which case, you could very well be pk'd while absent because the game doesn't know you're linkdead. Also, if you're fighting a mob at the time, the mob could still kill you while you're linkdead. If you've been fighting anyone lately and they pray about it, the Imms might just slay you for dropping link to avoid pk. You're not there to defend yourself, so even if you weren't actually running from the person, they'll never know.
Also, it's just bad to do that. Carry a return potion on you (if that's within your role) and save it for emergencies. If something so urgent that you can't walk back to a safe room comes up, quaff it and quit. Or just don't be a dink and watch the time. With a functional time piece. :P
