The difference between ip link down and physical link absence

In Linux, is there any difference between after-ip link down-condition and real link absence (e.g. the switch’s port burned down, or someone tripped over a wire).
By difference I mean some signs in the system that can be used to distinguish these two conditions.
E.g. will routing table be identical in these two cases? Will ethtool or something else show the same things? Is there some tool/utility which can distinguish these conditions?
