you can always add extra parameter in link_to
or link_to_remote .. every method will allow you to send extra
parameter
to the controller in all cases whether you are using restful routing
or not
for example:
link_to "a" ,{:controller=>:your_controller, :method
=> :your_method , :flag=>"a"}
or
link_to "a" , you_controller_path(:flag=>"a")
