Yes, but let me try to get my arms around your entire question...

Do you mean you want to retrieve (trusted metadata in a browser
window? No, I don't think that is possible since metadata is sometimes
retrieved just-in-time, as needed by the IdP.

What you *can* do is present an AuthnRequest for the SP in question
and observe the IdP's reaction. Since SP metadata is required for the
IdP to process the AuthnRequest, if a login handler is invoked (i.e.,
if the login page is presented to the user), you can conclude the IdP
has (trusted) metadata for the SP.
