I'd recommend instead:
 desktop-file-install  --vendor="" \
     --dir $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/applnk/.hidden
     $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/applnk/.hidden/kdiff3plugin.desktop

Or (prefered)
echo "NoDisplay=true" >> \
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/applnk/.hidden/kdiff3plugin.desktop
 desktop-file-install  --vendor="" \
     --dir $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/applications/kde
     --delete-original \
     $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/applnk/.hidden/kdiff3plugin.desktop

and talk to upstream about making the latter change, so as not to use the
legacy applnk dirs at all.
