I suggest that you get hold of a good book on MIB design.
The standard work is "Understanding SNMP MIBs".
This is invaluable if you're going to do anything more than cobble
something together from existing MIBs, and hope that it's correct.
But what you actually need is an "OBJECTS" clause.
See the definitions of IF-MIB::linkUp and IF-MIB::linkDown
for an example.

You can give "snmptrap" a list of name/type/value triplets in exactly
the same way as for "snmpset". These will be added to the varbind list
when the trap is sent.
For doing this programmatically, the best starting point is probably
to use
"mib2c -c mib2c.notify.conf myNotification"
which will construct a suitable routine for generating that trap.
You can then use this as a template for your own application.
