I don't believe we have an existing Joomla authentication plugin for links, and as far as I've heard, there hasn't been much of a demand for one either. If there's a high enough demand for one and someone allows us to create a plugin using their Joomla installation, we may consider writing one. Of course, there's also the option to pay us (or someone else), to write the plugin.
Very late to this one!
I use joomla almost exclusively now for sites, the best link directories you can really get for it are SOBI and Mostes Tree, theyre ok but nowhere near the power of links but they are popular enough. Mosets is what powers the Joomla Extension Directory itself.
I have always been interested in a Links bridge, or why not Community to tie in many of the GT products, you could curl wrap them in joomla and it could probably work quite well. I just dont have the funding to contemplate the idea of comissioning my own.
I'd be happy to set up a Joomla site on my dedicated server for assisting in this if its still of interest or under consideration.
Theres a free Joomla bridge thats gaining in popularity called JFusion, the developers are too busy to contemplate adding more plugins for it but theyre happy enough to grant access to the code, framework and api as its gpl. They claim its quite easy for developers to utilise.
