[themes] displaying a 'View' of a specific content type node?

Hiya, well, one reason for wanting to use Views to display a node is so 
that I don't have to re-style all of the horrendous levels of CSS depth 
all over again to make the detail [node] page look the same as my 
taxonomy-filtered view...

I've started theming the Node view, now that I can affect the output, 
and the styling with the CSS is taking hours; and yes, I am using 
Firebug for firefox; The entire topology of class names and ID's are 
different in the standard node output than in the standard View of 
nodes... could in part be due to my own oversight of the 
CSS-topology-logic employed, but still... sigh.
:(

Setting up a new View would probably only take me 15 min as that is at 
least straight forward, and I can mimic the CSS output exactly... not to 
mention use a 'Page' so that I can retain taxonomy links in a different 
column; But I still didn't understand from your description how I would 
"build a link to this view in my taxonomy view"? How do I link to a View 
and pass an argument instead of to a nodes NID page?

Thanks for your help,

Sebastian
