If a student is in two Canvas courses can I create a link in one Canvas course to connect to a module in another Canvas course?

You can, but it has issues.

For students using the mobile student app, they will see the menu for the course they were in on the left, but the module in the linked course on the right. If they click the Back button at the top of the right panel, they go back to the original course.

As you use it, the modules from the first course stay on the left and when you click on a module item on the right side, it goes to that item. Then the back button takes you back to the module list in the second course so you're back to having lists from separate courses.

Links are not usually student specific, so you would want to make sure that all of the students who had access to it belonged to the other class. Otherwise they would get an authorization error saying they cannot see the content.
