Hi Ingo,

Thanks for the detail,
This kind of mechanism is not present at OOTB level, you can check
component existence and based on this you can render link

Please refer following for example, this is not the perfect solution but
you can achieve what you want :)
https://github.com/apache/ofbiz-framework/blob/trunk/framework/common/widget/CommonScreens.xml#L137
https://github.com/apache/ofbiz-framework/blob/trunk/applications/product/widget/catalog/CatalogMenus.xml#L178

Kind Regards,
