[TYPO3] Displaying data considering TCA

Many extensions display data which is the result of a query on the
database object. Most of the time there is some form of definition for
this data in the TCA with dozens of options on how the data is stored,
labeled, processed, etc.
The TYPO3 backend supports all these options in e.g. the Web > View module.

Is there a simple way to use the TCA to show the data in the fields the
way the View module does (translating labels, fetching data from foreign
tables, etc.) without having to write code that supports all the features
of the TCA? I couldn't find anything in the API for it :-(

Kind regards,
