Check out the FTB tutorial. This sounds like it could be an ideal use
for a FCE (flexible content element).

You'll need to figure out the GIFBUILDER object etc and then map it
all to an html template. If FCEs aren't sophisticated enough (e.g. if
you need to be able to sort the items, have different views etc), you
could write a simple extension to do the job.
