It's probably a bad idea to flat-out override link_to, since there will be occasions that you don't want to check authorisation when creating a link. It's worth noting that each call to link_if_authorized creates a call to authorized?(), which in turn asks the DB about the current users permissions - having EVERY link in your site do this is going to impact performance at some point [1].
Instead, I'd suggest that you use link_if_authorized only when it is truly appropriate to do so. - james [1] future versions might address this in some way, although I wouldn't rely on that happening.
