Put this function to AppModel and call it from each controller with the related model. The function then looks like: 

class AppModel extends Model
{
  public function getDetail($id = null) {
    $data = $this->find('all', array(
      'conditions' => array($this->name.'.id' => $id)
    ));

// ...

Depending on your call from the model it will automatically use the right model. Such a call may look like this: 

class UsersController extends AppController
{
  public $uses = array('User', 'Market');

  public function index()
  {
    // Fetch data from markets database
    $this->Market->getDetail($id);
    // Fetch data from users database
    $this->User->getDetail($id);

// ...

In this case, the model Market will be used to fetch the details from the database.
