Security through obscurity is never a good idea.  Even if the links
weren't there, they could still craft a URL to see it.  Is there some
reason you can't configure the standard CGI permissions in cgi.cfg and
get that to work for you?

If this is a case where users will yell at you if a link tells them
'permission denied' after clicking on it, that's a completely different
story.  But you'll have to hack the cgi's to get that to work.
