If you do...

<dtml-in expr="objectValues('Link')" skip_unauthorized>

...it will ignore all the objects the user doesnt have permission to view.

But I think you might be better hacking at the code of the "news_box" method
in portal_skins/generic, which uses a catalog search to find all news-items
at any level of the site.

Or, if you want to restrict it to just one section of the site, take a look
at Seb's How-To - http://cmf.zope.org/Members/seb/CreateCatalogTool/view

Incidentally Tres/Seb, this doesn't show up in the list of How-Tos in the
Doc section?

HTH
