No. The input switching is done by a mechanical switch on the front and
there is no software override available. You are able to detect the switch
position via slink, but you can't control it. Big oversight on Sony's part.
You also have to put the MD into record mode to loop the inputs to the outputs.

by mapping suitable slink commands in CDJ to turn on the MD player when
CDJ turns on, and then select an appropriate input on the MD player with
each changer play command issued by CDJ. You could then use the
analog and TOSLINK outs from the MD player to deliver signal to other
places.
