4th parameter of Html.ActionLink can have any number od properties:

   <%= Html.ActionLink("Check this", "Edit", "test", 
    new { id = id, data=name }, new { style = "display:block" })%>

Theese properties are inserted into URL based on routing, but if the property name cannot be matched into any route it is added as URL GET parameter. So if you have standard route "{controller}/{action}/{id}", you will get the URL test/Edit/[id]?data=[name] from the above code.
