After searching through the documentation for nerdtree, I couldn't find a way to hide file links in the directory tree. What can I do?

update symlink highlighting
9704a38 
Previously we highlighted symlinks as one item (NERDTreeLink):

    symlinked_file -> /path/to/target

Split this out into 3 highlight groups:
    * NERDTreeLinkFile
    * NERDTreeLinkDir
    * NERDTreeLinkTarget

So we have:

    symlinked_dir/ -> /foo/bar
    -------------- ***********
         ^               ^
         |               |
    NERDTreeLinkDir   NERDTreeLinkTarget

Similarly for file links - with NERDTreeLinkFile instead of
NERDTreeLinkDir.

This allows users to modify how symlinks are highlighted. E.g. to make
them appear as normal files/dirs they could add this to their vimrc:

    hi link NERDTreeLinkFile NERDTreeFile
    hi link NERDTreeLinkDir NERDTreeDir
    hi link NERDTreeLinkTarget ignore

I find a workaround way , put it in .vimrc will make the symlink target do not capture you attention:

        " make symlink do not hightlight 
        hi link NERDTreeLinkTarget Conceal
