Sending in prepared data for link generation

Hello,
imagine you have a route in format: users/1234-john-doe
Router would look something like this:

<?php
$routes[] = new Route('users/<user_id>', array(
	'module'	=> 'Front',
	'presenter'	=> 'User',
	'action'	=> 'profile',
	'user_id'	=> array(
		Route::FILTER_OUT => callback('UrlResolver::idToUrl'),
		Route::FILTER_IN => callback('UrlResolver::urlToId')
	)
), $default_flags);
?>

When creating a link, UrlResolver goes and looks inside the database (e.g. to find users name by user id).

In the moment of link creation, I actually often have users name already available in a variable inside a template. My goal is to skip the database query and construct the link with data already provided.

It could look something like this:

<?php
Visit a profile of:
<a href="{link User:profile ['user_id' = 1234, 'name' => 'John Doe']}">John Doe</a>
//	would link to: /users/1234-john-doe
?>

..the problem is, that $name is not accessible/passed inside the UrlResolver method calls.

How do I accomplish this?
Maybe I'm missing something obvious.

Thank you for your help.
