Hi,

I have a number of routes calling actions, for example:

<route pattern="^/events/$" module="Events" action="ShowEvents"  
name="Events" />

Some (but not all) of the views of the actions called by the routes,  
also set a slot on a page, calling an action that shows related links,  
ShowRelated. This related links are stored in a database by route  
*name*. I thought this good in case the actual pattern changes in  
future. The route name is defined as a string literal in each view and  
passed by createSlotContainer to the ShowRelated action.

Now, what I would like is for urls like

/events/editrelatedlinks/

to call the action 'EditRelated' (in order to show/process forms for  
editors to edit the links for the page). To achieve this I could have  
something like:

<route pattern="^/events/" module="Events" action="ShowEvents"  
name="Events" >
   <route pattern="ediitrelatedlinks/$"   module="Related"  
action="EditRelated" name="EditRelatedEvents" />
</route>

However, the 'EditRelated' action won't know the name of its 'parent'  
route, in this case 'Events', in order to properly access the database  
of links. Is there a way for it to find out what it was? Or is there a  
way to define a parameter in the route definition, that will end up in  
the request data holder in the called action? Or maybe should I be  
storing my related links in the database in a different way?

Michal.
