You can add a read-only 'voted' SerializerMethodField to your serializer.

This will add a key voted to the serialized representation of the object.

From the SerializerMethodField docs:

It can be used to add any sort of data to the serialized
representation of your object.

It should return whatever you want to be included in the serialized
representation of the object.

class LinkSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    voted = serializers.SerializerMethodField(method_name='has_user_voted') # add a 'voted' field

    class Meta:
        model = Link

        fields = ('id', 'href', 'title','voted')
        read_only_fields = ('id', 'href', 'title', 'voted')

    def has_user_voted(self, obj):
        user = self.context['request'].user # get the request object from context
        user_votes = UserVotes.objects.filter(user=user, link=obj)
        if user_votes:
            return True # return True if any user_votes object exists
        return False # otherwise return False
