    <content type="text">Unfortunately that doesn't work since there is not even an option to have a cross object formula field with Owner (otherwise I would be able to display Owner Name).</content>

    <content type="text">Well, you can create a formula field in the object like this one : 
HYPERLINK("/"&amp; Id , Name )

It will create a field with a link to the record by showing the name of the record. 

And all you need to do is create another cross object formula field in the object you want to show the link by referencing this field.
