Need an ADF API to test and view linked service configurations.

In Azure Data Factory (ADF), the user has found an API for retrieving the configuration information of linked services, but has not yet discovered an API that supports the testing of linked services functionality. The user is looking for an API that not only provides the ability to query the configuration information of linked services but also can trigger and perform testing operations on the linked services.

Background: User could test the API successfully and got the json file about link service configuration

Ask:
1 User would like to find another API could get the configuration about link service and trigger the button "Test connection". Trigger the "Test connection" is necessary for user to do. 
2 User would like to confirm whether we could provide an API for him to test? The user was unable to find the corresponding support in Microsoft's official documentation.

Unfortunately, based on my knowlegde it is not possible to test the connection via an API and there is no functionality.

The below REST API :

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/datafactory/linked-services/get?view=rest-datafactory-201...

provide only details but cannot helpo with test connection aspects
