MVC @Html.ActionLink with Name

Question

I have the following

@Html.ActionLink("Edit", "EditProg", new { id = item.ID })

I like to know how to also supply the above with a name as I need trap this name before it is submitted. Is there something like name = "EditLink"?

You mean like adding a name attribute to the anchor (even if this attribute is not valid on an anchor)?

@Html.ActionLink(
    "Edit",                        // linkText
    "EditProg",                    // actionName
    new { id = item.ID },          // routeValues
    new { name = "EditLink" }      // htmlAttributes
)

or sending it to the controller as query string parameter?

@Html.ActionLink(
    "Edit",                 // linkName
    "EditProg",             // actionName
    new {                   // routeValues
        id = item.ID, 
        name = "some name" 
    }
)

You could used Url.Action instead?

<a href="@Url.Action("EditProg")" id="@item.ID" name="editlink" >

Why using something like this when there's already an ActionLink overload which allows to achieve that?
