Due to spanning tree, I dont believe you can do it in the fashion you
describe. The only way I know to do this is if you have mulitple vlans on
the access layer switch, have the port priority or root bridge for x vlans
travel on link 1 while port priority or root bridge for y vlans travel link
2. This will actively use both links for traffic, and provide redundancy in
case of link failure (spantree is recalculated and all vlans travel
available link).
Hope this helps.
