I don't know of a solution .

You could use a link that points to a dummy file.

The file could indicate that there is no data.

Hi,

I've experimented with the following, and was able to create a merge result that omits <<Link>>  when hyperlink is empty on the source cell. 
  • Create a new column [Link Rewrite] which is populated with 1) a copy of the link if [Link] cell contains a link, or 2) a space if [Link] cell is empty. 
    • Note that in the above scenario of 2), be sure to write a space " ", and not "". 
    • Formula I used in my experiment is =Arrayformula(if(isblank(B2:B)," ",B2:B))
  • In the template Google Doc, replace <<link>> with <<Link Rewrite>>
  • When mapping source data to template in Autocrat launch page, set <<Link Rewrite>> as Hyperlink, and leave the link label blank.
  • When the source sheet line has no hyperlink, then the merged document will only show a visible "NO" and nothing after that; however, if you hover over the space after "NO", then a little popup "invalid link" shows up. 
If you are just wanting to avoid seeing the <<link>> on the merged page, and if you are not bothered by the "invalid link" popup when you happened to hover over a blank space, then I think the above steps would be sufficient for your needs. 

Here are the links to my experiment files:
