@GD11 

it's not possible to show/hide variable of type Custom using UI policy or client script

why not show a form message with link using g_form.addInfoMessage() based on change of that variable?

are you only intending to use platform and not portal for your catalog item?

@Ankur Bawiskar  we are going to use portal for this requirement.

@GD11 

then why not do this

1) create a widget and add the link there, hide that by default when widget loads

2) create a variable of type Custom and add the above widget there

3) then detect change of variable in your widget, once you get the value in widget show/hide the link

this link should help you

Widget that reacts to onChange event of Variable
