you are on the right track with the skin:view tag
This is some code I use for a teaser image
<cfif len(stobj.teaserImage)>
<cfoutput><span class="thumbnail"></cfoutput>
<skin:buildLink objectID="#stobj.objectid#">
<skin:view objectid="#stobj.teaserImage#" typename="dmImage"
template="displayThumbnailImage" />
</skin:buildLink>
<cfoutput></span></cfoutput>
</cfif>
In webskins/dmImage is a file called displayThumbnailImage.cfm
which has the code for rendering the image
You create webskins with common names for each type in webskins, eg
displayTeaser.cfm
If the HTML is then same for all types, you can just put one file in the
webskin type directory and farcry will use that if it can not find the file
in the <typename> folder.
For related items, that may have different types, I am pretty sure you can
get away with not passing typename to skin:view and Farcry will work it out.
I poke arrond the code used by farcryCMC or nearCry to see how they do stuff
Oh look at this!
I was going to say Farcry Docs is a good reference and found this

You will never be surprised or disappointed ever again.
