Simply, do all the tricks about getting the path in the controller,
then pass it as an array to the view. In the view simply iterate the
array and build the bread crumbs.
Showing a path of links as a bread crumb is a matter of view, it's
just a representation of the data that can be switched with another.
Finding the elements that conform the path is another matter, that
should go in controller / model.
