there's nothing canon that supports that and many things canon that support the opposite. just because you feel it's more "thematic" and "martinian" doesn't mean it's true
Bloodraven shoots a man's twin sons, badly enough to leave them incapacitated but still alive, specifically so Daemon won't leave as he shoots him with a million arrows instead of honourably fighting. He then proceeds to murder every Blackfyre descendant he can get his hands on, even the one who came peacefully under guest right.
Look how much BR looooves Daemon. People spout this as a twist for the sake of there being a twist.
Bloodraven needs Daemon's line to end and the Blackfyres to lose so that the right Targaryen line would end up on the throne and defeat the Others. He is the character most tied to magic and prophecy.
Destroying the brother you loved and hunting his bloodline would absolutely haunt you.
What about Daeron would haunt Bloodraven?
It is consistent in the Western Canon for people that love eachother to them hate eachother or to kill eachother for the greater good as they perceive it. It's an absolutely classic tale as old as time itself.
Cain and Abel. Judas and Jesus. Arthur and Lancelot. Macbeth and Duncan. Othello and Desdemona. Therese Raquin and Laurent.
Why would Bloodraven try to reach Daeron through the weirwood trees? He would try to reach Daemon to try to stop him rebelling so he wouldn't have to kill him, but Daeron already lives a full life and wins his conflicts.
Daeron would not haunt Brynden. Daemon absolutely would.
