hi peter

you could do it this way:

Create a Group BlockElements with a page SpecialLink, there you write:

(:if ! exists 
{$$pagename}:)[[{$$pagename}?action=edit?template=Group.AltTemplate|mylink]]
else:)[[{$$pagename}|mylink]]

then in the page where the link should appear:

(:include BlockElement.SpecialLink pagename=Group.Name:)


the benefits of this is that you could easily change the block element 
in terms of function and style
