An alternative approach
The logic involved in building a link is placed in the View, whereas I believe that it should be in with the thing it's linking-to, the action, or at least its controller.

In this blog post, I show how I created my own link builder method and how it helps me refactor my code more easily (and without having to scan through all my aspx pages looking for dodgy routeValues).
