You have to use renderCustomView (Function) - Custom view inside the bubble prop. And add some meta information into your message data like this is a SPECIAL message and finally test in renderCustomView if you are in the case of a special message.

react-native-gifted-chat already includes support for images and videos, using the properties video and image of IMessage, just past pass the the link of the resource

{ _id: 1, text: 'My message', createdAt: new Date(Date.UTC(2016, 5, 11, 17, 20, 0)), user: { _id: 2, name: 'React Native', avatar: ' }, image: ' // You can also add a video prop: video: ' // Mark the message as sent, using one tick sent: true, // Mark the message as received, using two tick received: true, // Mark the message as pending with a clock loader pending: true, // Any additional custom parameters are passed through
}

For the rest of types you have to implement your own logic, using one of the render functions, i think you could renderMessageImage with a link to the icon of the resources and add a description, also you should handle the click event to start download
