You probably don't want to use FileContentResult, that is something generally used for providing the raw file.

In theory though there is nothing different in using any other url

<img src="@Html.ActionLink("View","Image",{id = Model.key})" />

Or you can provide that link in a pdf reference, or as a stylesheet etc.

Assuming you're using Razor, rendering a text file can be done as simple as:

<div>
    @(new System.IO.StreamReader("myFile.txt")).ReadToEnd()
</div>

For PDF files, you'll have to find a third-party component to convert to HTML.
