I'm not sure I get your question, but let me try to answer it.

Once the pad is created, you can use GstPad's API to inspect its caps and
see if they can link with gst_pad_can_link, but I assume you want to know
before these pads exist.

GstElement has function to get its template pads, so you can compare the
templates of 2 pads and check if their caps intersect, so they 'might' link.

Hope this helps.
