The best way to accomplish this is by having the power broker with whom your friend is close with write an email on her behalf to the recruiter/an analyst etc. This wouldn't be name dropping and it would illustrate the strength of the relationship.
A strong fund manager I know suggested dropping his name in an interview just to make the sell-side interviewer understand that I've been doing my research and meeting people etc to make myself aware and keep involved. I did it and was subtle but got rejected.
Informal feedback from a mentor who deals with the desk said it was a mistake on my part because this buy-side client apparently is way too tough with commissions and causes a lot of trouble. The head of the desk wanted no one close to this fund manager anywhere near to his desk.
Having said that, speak with this guy you know and make him aware of the company. Nepotism or whatever you want to call it/crossing the line or not or anything else.....if you are smart about it, it will help.
I've avoided mentioning strong names in interviews and I regret doing so because I see fools who got in because they had that extra edge. They screwed up after getting in is a different story haha.
