why not simply install midnight commander ? This will show the zipped file
as a directory tree ... very handy

Well, I am not sure what you mean by links, but you can use zless to
read *.gz files without unzipping them first.  In fact, there was a
thread last month about this very topic.  Have a look at the
debian-user archives for last month at www.debian.org or search
through deja.
