What about a simple "get"?

If you want to retrieve a resource for the sake of having it as a part of a 
bigger request you can use a non-semantically-bound and generic action.
This could work for every resource: comments, images, attachments, etc.

If, on the other hand, you want some additional behavior associated to a 
specific semantics of the action (e.g., logging or increasing the pageviews 
when it's actually a view) you use a more specific action like "view", 
"download", etc. (like it's done right now)
