That was the bit the did the trick. I guess I didn't follow the documentation
chain up high enough (I stopped at catalyst::component). However one tricky
part, if the action you name is part of a chain you need to make sure you
submit the captures arrayref, otherwise $c->uri_for doesn't return anything.
So for my example you could do:
my $view_action_link = $c->uri_for( $c->controller->action_for('view'),
$c->request->captures );
$c->response->redirect( $view_action_link );
And this does exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!
Just another note, you can skip passing the controller method a name if the
action you are looking for is in the same package, which makes this even more
generic.
This really helps to make your code more generic and simplified. I just showed
this to a group of consultants I'm working with on a cgi based application and
I got them all drooling with envy :)

try
$c->uri_for($c->controller('Foo::Bar')->action_for('action_name'));
(action_for documented in Catalyst::Base)
