Is there a preferred approach for Roles aware links in MVC 2

Question

If an action has been decorated with [Authorize(Roles="Administrators")] is there a way to not display the link for the currently logged in user who is not in the declared role?

It seems to me that baking a lot of if statements into the view to give this kind of "selective disclosure" is contrary to the MVC way, but I'm not sure what the alternative is?
