I think it's non-standard but it's rather common. Plenty of web hits. I've drafted an entry.

Possibly common enough to have as an entry. 引っかかる and 掛かる don't mean the same thing but some of the discussion implies that the かから is derived from 引っかから.
I'll leave this open for a short while in case anyone wants to create an entry (with proper references.)
