I don't think so, since most of the submissions I see have the text appear as the body of the post and not as the first comment.

From the FAQ:

> How do I make a link in a text submission?

>You can't. This is to prevent people from submitting a link with their comments in a privileged position at the top of the page. If you want to submit a link with comments, just submit the link, then add a regular comment.
