I was thinking about a logic similar to this, using pseudo code
if ($currentUser == Admin) {
	display admin link
}

Can this be done using smarty tags in the templates or can this be done
via the plugin api?

I already checked this one, but it just sets cookies depending on the
values you fill in on the comments form. I want to use the
authentication system. If authenticated, the username is stored in the
session anyway, so it shouldn't be to complicated to autofill the form.
Username and email address can be grabbed from the user table or
session. A plugin should be able to do this, I think.

Sounds good, please let me know if I can assist you with that.
