Hi Josh, With that sort of code, you'd be better off putting it in your own helper. That helper can load its own helpers, so doing links wouldn't be a problem.
This thread: http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/f3a8243e2226c696 deals with this approach, but for radio boxes not links; the principle is the same though.
