What exactly do you mean?

If you want to list only the symbolic links, and nothing else, contained
in a directory, then find(1) is the tool to use, not ls.  And it appears
that you recently asked how to do that on the findutils list; did you read
the answers you got?
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-findutils/2010-02/msg00018.html

If you want to list all files, but mark symbolic links with an indicator,
so that they stand out, you can use ls -F.
