I am wondering, would it be possible to clean the chain with a steamcleaner?

I think it probably would but I am not sure it would get right into the link joint - Some of the proprietry cleaners are supposed to do just that by penetration.

I think thats probably the same reason why you should use a bespoke chain lube which can not only get in there, but remain useful whilst there!

No no no AJ!!!!  As always, Sheldon Brown is the master.  To do a proper job, you need to follow his advice here.
