There isn't any way to do this built into Django. It may not always make
sense, either, since a template could just be a string (hence have no
name).
Looking through some code I have written, I found a case where I was
doing something like you are and I am just passing in a "no_display"
variable in the context on the pages that shouldn't have a link like
this. I test to see if no_display is false before trying to display the
link (in fact, in my case, it's on a help page, too).
