Answer 1

Why don't you create your own custom helper and create a method that returns the HTMLHelper's link with the options set?

class MyHelper extends AppHelper {
  var $helpers = array('html');

  function linkNoEscape($title, $url)
    $options = array(); //set custom options, e.g. no escape 

    return $this->Html->link($title, $url, $options);
  }
}
