Sure. Rather than linking to files, link to a download script. This example
is for PDF files and $folder is a directory outside the web server root,
but it can be easily modified for different usages:

$folder='/home/foo/files';
$file='bar.pdf';

header('Content-Type: application/pdf');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . $file . ';');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($folder . '/' . $file));

readfile($folder . '/' . $file);
