Lew,
Not sure I understand your question. Let me try and rephrase it. Are there
instances of the dative where it cannot be the indirect object of the main
verb? I think the answer to this question is yes. There are instances of the
dative where it is inconceivable that it would be performing as an indirect
object.
It is quite possible that I have missed the point of your question entirely.
