Have you thought about using partials?

You could create a partial called "categoryList.html" and place it in
Resources/Private/Partials/.  This partial can use any viewHelpers like
link.action.

Then you could add this to your template wherever you want to see the
hierarchical list of categories:

<f:render partial="categoryList" arguments="{categories: categories}" />
