I don't think so. Sense one is about drinking things, so "take (medicine)" is really in there. The fact that we can say "take" in English for medicine (it used to be used more widely) doesn't mean it's a different sense in Japanese.

I note that we have two example sentences for 王道. Both are currently linked to sense 2, but AFAICT are probably better suited to sense 3. I'm wondering if we should move it to the top?

Nicholas is right in that Daijisen and Daijirin don't include this in their って entries, but instead have separate たって 
entries. We do have a たって entry for this usage likewise. Still, I think it'd be fine to keep that sense here while keeping the 
たって entry as well - I think it'd be helpful not least because I don't think somebody trying to figure out what this use of っ
て means would be very likely to find their way to the たって entry.

Marcus, this edit removes a sense you added in 2012. I notice that both your examples do have たって, and it seems to be coing from 経って. MeCab says たっ + て. Do you have a view on the proposal? I'm rather neutral - it's up the front for historical reasons.

Examples from the same sense in Daijirin 4.0:
"どうするかって、ぼくにも名案はないよ"
"早く行けって、それは無理だよ"

Regarding the "if ... then" sense. The examples given in the refs when this sense was added contain たって, not って. They're unrelated to the topical/quotational って. There's already an entry for たって.
The DJR definition given is describing the case where you raise the other person's speech as the topic and make a statement regarding it. I don't know if this needs to be explicitly defined separately from the topical/quotational usage of って.
The best I could come up with is "..., you say? (used to call something someone said into question and make a statement regarding it)".
