ACL from View

I was wondering if anyone has any ideas regarding determining based on
ACL whether or not a particular user has access to a specific
controller/action pair from the view.
Currently, we use the html helper to generate links to edit actions,
etc something like the following:

<?php echo $html->link('Edit', array('action'=>'edit', $model['Model']
['id'])); ?>

Ideally, it would be in the form of a special helper (which I know has
no access to the database) that checks to see if the logged-in user
has access to that method and just does not generate the link if there
is no access.

We have a variety of user types and groups, with varying levels of
access in our application using the same views.

Based on the quantity of links and variability of some of the views we
generate, I'd like to stay away from generating special variables for
this purpose in the controller before the view is rendered, or
creating special views that are basically identical for the different
types of users in the system to hide these links.
