I just switched from ZF1 to ZF2 and I'm missing a few features or I#M just not able to find them. For example in ZF1 I was able to define references between tables extending Zend_Db_Table_Abstract or I was able to get e.g. images for a tag using the find<XYZ>Via<xyz>()method. Is there something similar in ZF2?

No, there is nothing similar like this in ZF2.
With ZF2, the maintainers of Zend\Db have taken a step back as far as ORM-Functionalities are concerned. You still have the implementation of Zend\Db\TableGateway but there is no longer any more magic happening than that.
However, there are Modules / Technologies out there, that do the Job better than Zend_Db ever did. Namely you'd want to be looking into Doctrine. All Doctrine-Functionalities are available via DoctrineModule and DoctrineORMModule.
