No, it still needs a panhard bar to locate the axle from side to side, what you are thinking of is a watts link. Which looks alot like this but is only designed for locating the axle itself..
The X link allows the axle to rotate during articulation to prevent bushing bind. It is similar to a wristed arm, Radius arm system. But from the looks of things should not have and many of the quirks of a wristed system.
It can be plenty strong, and function reasonably well from what I have seen.
I would not do one in the rear tho. Rears are much easier to 4 link.
